Regulation of the human Suv3 helicase on DNA by inorganic cofactors.

abstract：:We have modified elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) from Escherichia coli via mutagenesis of its encoding tufA gene to study its function-structure relationships. The isolation of the N-terminal half molecule of EF-Tu (G domain) has facilitated the analysis of the basic EF-Tu activities, since the G domain binds the substra...
