Abstract excerpt
To ensure genome stability, bacteria have evolved a network of DNA repair mechanisms; among them, the UvrABC-dependent nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway is essential for the incision of a variety of bulky adducts generated by exogenous chemicals, UV radiation and by-products of cellular metabolism. However, very little is known about the enzymatic properties of Mycobacterium tuberculosis UvrABC...
