Abstract excerpt
The base excision repair DNA glycosylases, EcoNth and hNTHL1, are homologous, with reported overlapping yet different substrate specificities. The catalytic amino acid residues are known and are identical between the two enzymes although the exact structures of the substrate binding pockets remain to be determined. We sought to explore the sequence basis of substrate differences using a phylogeny-based design of...
