Abstract excerpt
Crystal structures of EcoRV endonuclease bound in a ternary complex with cognate duplex DNA and manganese ions have previously revealed an Mn(2+)-binding site located between the enzyme and the DNA outside of the dyad-symmetric GATATC recognition sequence. In each of the two enzyme subunits, this metal ion bridges between a distal phosphate group of the DNA and the imidazole ring of His71. The new metal- binding...
