Abstract excerpt
Several DNA-interactive proteins, including the DNA repair enzyme T4 endonuclease V, have been shown to locate their target recognition sites utilizing an electrostatically mediated facilitated diffusion mechanism. Previous work indicates that a decrease in the affinity of endonuclease V for nontarget DNA results in an increased nontarget dissociation rate. This study was designed to investigate the effect of an...
