Abstract excerpt
Single-stranded DNA-binding protein (SSB) is essential to DNA replication, DNA repair, and homologous genetic recombination. Our previous study on the crystal structure of a C-terminally truncated SSB from Helicobacter pylori, HpSSBc, in complex with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) suggests that several aromatic residues, including Phe37, Phe50, Phe56, and Trp84, were involved in ssDNA binding. To investigate the...
