Notably, although S. solfataricus grows optimally at temperatures of ≥80 °C, temperature-dependent studies showed that the nucleotide incorporation fidelity, induced-fit mechanism, and secondary structural features of Dpo4 remained unchanged over a wide range of temperatures, validating the appropriateness of comparison between Dpo4 and other Y-family DNA polymerases at 37 °C.
This review aimed to be inclusive and gather studies which had used a range of approaches to assess decision appropriateness: therefore, we did not restrict appropriateness assessment (for example to national standards), but rather accepted all standards.
The studies used a range of methods to analyse decision appropriateness, such as calculating agreement with the decision appropriateness assessment standard (for example, percentage agreement with an expert panel's decisions), or calculating quality scores (for example, scoring GPs a point for an appropriate decision then calculating a mean score) (Table 3).
