    5. Although AAG strongly prefers to excise lesions from duplex DNA, nonspecific binding is comparable for single- and double-stranded nonspecific sites. The electrostatically driven binding of AAG to small DNA sites ( approximately 5 nucleotides of single-stranded and approximately 6 base pairs of duplex) facilitates the search for DNA damage in chromosomal DNA, which is bound by nucleosomes and other proteins.

Data suggest that the change in tryptophan fluorescence of Y162W mutant of AAG (alkyladenine DNA glycosylase) is extremely rapid upon binding to either damaged or undamaged DNA, much faster than lesion-recognition and nucleotide flipping steps; thus, intercalation by tyrosine may be one of the earliest steps in search for/recognition of DNA damage.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
