Selective Incision of the α-N5-Methyl-Formamidopyrimidine Anomer by Escherichia coli Endonuclease IV
Formamidopyrimidines (Fapy) lesions result from ring opening of the imidazole portion of purines. Fapy lesions can isomerize from the natural β-anomeric stereochemistry to the α-configuration. We have unambiguously demonstrated that the α-methyl-Fapy-dG (MeFapy-dG) lesion is a substrate for Escheric...
