Abstract excerpt
O6-Alkylguanine DNA adducts are repaired by the suicide enzyme alkylguanine alkyltransferase (AGT). AGT facilitates repair by binding DNA in the minor groove, flipping out the damaged base, and transferring the O6-alkyl group to a cysteine residue in the enzyme's active site. Despite there being significant knowledge concerning the mechanism of AGT repair, there is limited insight regarding how altered...
