Abstract excerpt
T4 gene 32 protein (gp32), the prototype helix-destabilizing or single-stranded (ss) DNA binding protein, contains one tightly coordinated Zn2+ ion bound tetrahedrally by three cysteines (residues 77, 87, and 90) and a fourth non-thiol donor. In previous work, it was shown that the proposed non-thiol ligand His81 could be readily substituted with nonliganding glutamine and alanine residues without deleterious...
