Abstract excerpt
Mammalian polynucleotide kinase (mPNK) is a critical DNA repair enzyme whose 5'-kinase and 3'-phoshatase activities function with poorly understood but striking specificity to restore 5'-phosphate/3'-hydroxyl termini at sites of DNA damage. Here we integrated site-directed mutagenesis and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) combined with advanced computational approaches to characterize the conformational...
