The trajectory of intrahelical lesion recognition and extrusion by the human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase

DNA glycosylases are lesion-specific enzymes that recognize specific nucleobase damages and catalyze their excision through cleavage of the glycosidic bond. Here, the authors present the crystal structures of human 8-oxoguanine (oxoG) DNA glycosylase bound to undamaged DNA and to DNA containing an i...
