Abstract excerpt
The tyrosine residue present at position 158 in the human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase is one of 22 amino acid residues that are conserved in all known alkyltransferase protein sequences. The importance of this amino acid in the reactions brought about by the alkyltransferase was studied...
