Structural and Biochemical Studies of Alkylpurine DNA Glycosylase AlkD

Alkylating agents covalently modify DNA bases to generate a chemically diverse set of lesions including cytotoxic N3-methyladenine (3mA) bases and mutagenic 1,N6-ethenoadenine (εA) and N7-methylguanine (7mG). To maintain genomic integrity, these lesions are repaired by the base excision repair pathw...
