Structural studies of UL30 showed that it forms the typical hand-shaped structure of a DNA polymerase with the catalytically important residues for dNTP polymerization in the palm domain.

Now, the actual structure of a DNA loop and people have hypothesized this before, Peter Cook, for one suggests that and remember, RNA polymerase and its associated proteins, this is a big complex.
Epigenetic alterations in gene expression may be achieved through changes in the tertiary structure of a DNA strand.
The structure of a DNA molecule is primarily determined by its nucleotide sequence, so that similar DNA sequences have similar DNA structures.
Fernandez-Leiro, Conrad et al. have now used a technique called cryo-electron microscopy to reveal the three-dimensional structure of a DNA polymerase from a bacterium called Escherichia coli complete with other associated factors and a DNA molecule.
In the 19 Å, negative stain EM structure of Pyrococcus furiosus PolB, the only other known structure of a DNA polymerase in complex with clamp and DNA, the DNA runs straight through the clamp as well (Mayanagi et al., 2011).
