A closeup of the active site region in the <scene name='Sandbox_dvoet/DNA_polymerase/Klentaq1-open_closeup/6' target='Open' >open conformation</scene> (''right'') reveals that the side chain of the conserved Tyr 671 (colored with C pink) is stacked on top of the template G that forms a base pair with the bound ddCTP, where it apparently participates in verifying that a Watson–Crick base pair has formed. In the <scene name='Sandbox_dvoet/DNA_polymerase/Klentaq1-closed_closeup/3' target='Closed' >closed conformation</scene> (''left''), Tyr 671, which is part of the fingers domain, has moved aside, presumably to permit the active site to form about the incoming dNTP (satisfy yourself that the Tyr 671 side chain is stacked on the template G in the open form but not in the closed form).
