Genome-Wide Mapping of Oxidative DNA Damage via Engineering of 8-Oxoguanine DNA Glycosylase.

abstract：:Our earlier NMR study showed that a two-disulfide variant of hen lysozyme containing intra-alpha-domain disulfide bridges, C6-C127 and C30-C115, is partially folded, with the alpha domain tightly folded to the nativelike conformation and the beta domain flexible or unfolded. With a view that the formation of a third d...
