Abstract excerpt
XPD is a key nucleotide excision repair (NER) protein whose function is vital for genome integrity. During NER, XPD serves as a 5'-3' single-strand DNA translocase that enables lesion scanning and verification in genomic DNA. Yet, its translocation mechanism is incompletely understood. Here we use molecular simulations and chain-of-replicas path optimization methods to model the ATP-driven translocation...
