Abstract excerpt
Our recent structure-activity analysis of Fpg protein of Escherichia coli, using oligodeoxynucleotides containing various 8-oxopurine derivatives, has allowed us to postulate an enzyme mechanism involving protonation of 8-oxoguanine at O-6 and nucleophilic attack of the deoxyribose moiety at C-1' leading to the formation of an enzyme-substrate Schiff base intermediate (Tchou, J., Bodepudi, V., Shibutani, S.,...
