Evolutionary Design Of Active Site Plasticity In R.KpnI For Promiscuity In Metal Ion Utilization And Substrate Recognition
(2013-03-27)Restriction modification (R-M) systems are important components of the prokaryotic arsenal against invading genomes. R-M systems directly target the foreign DNA and are often considered as primitive immune systems in ... -
New Active Site Fold And The Role Of Metal Ions In Structure Function Relationship Of A Promiscuous Endonuclease - R.KpnI
(2010-07-08)Bacteria employ survival strategies to protect themselves against foreign invaders, including bacteriophages. The ‘immune system’ of bacteria relies mostly on restriction-modification (R-M) systems. The primary role of R-M ...
