Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage T4 endonuclease V has both pyrimidine dimer-specific DNA glycosylase and abasic (AP) lyase activities, which are sequential yet biochemically separable functions. Previous studies using chemical modification and site-directed mutagenesis techniques have shown that the catalytic activities are mediated through the alpha-amino group of the enzyme forming a covalent (imino) intermediate. However, in...
