Abstract

Base-flipping has been proposed as a general mode of recognition for DNA repair proteins. The objectives of this research are to investigate damage recognition by DNA repair proteins using the uracil DNA glycosylase from herpes-simplex virus as a model system. Studies will focus on DNA recognition and the catalytic mechanism by which uracil is specifically removed.
