Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3 proteins are double-edged swords. They deaminate cytosine to uracil in single-stranded DNA and provide protection, as part of our innate immune system, against viruses and retrotransposons, but they are also involved in cancer evolution and development of drug resistance. We report a solution-state model of APOBEC3A interaction with its single-stranded DNA substrate obtained with the 'method of small...
