Abstract excerpt
Uracil-DNA N-glycosylase (UNG; EC 3.2.2.27) from Atlantic cod (cUNG) possesses cold adapted features like increased catalytic efficiency and reduced temperature optimum for activity compared to its warm-adapted homologue human UNG (hUNG). Here, we present the first thermal stability analysis of cUNG and hUNG by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the results showed that cUNG is less stable than hUNG and...
