Abstract excerpt
Here, we investigate the highly specific interaction of the BamHI endonuclease with its cognate recognition sequence GGATCC by determining which amino acid residues can be substituted at the DNA interface while maintaining specificity. Mutational studies, together with the structural determination of the restriction endonuclease BamHI have revealed the amino acid residues which are involved in DNA catalysis and...
