  The complex is the Klenow fragment of DNA polymease I of Thermus aquaticus, whose structure was solved by Li, Mitaxov, and Waksman.  This particular enzyme has been modified to incorporate dideoxynucleotides more eficiently for sequencing (PNAS 96: 9491, 1999).

The coordinates were modified by M. Bruist to include 3' oxygens on the incoming dGTP and the 3' G of the primer strand.
