Exocyclic Carbons Adjacent to the N[superscript 6] of Adenine are Targets for Oxidation by the Escherichia coli Adaptive Response Protein AlkB
The DNA and RNA repair protein AlkB removes alkyl groups from nucleic acids by a unique iron- and α-ketoglutarate-dependent oxidation strategy. When alkylated adenines are used as AlkB targets, earlier work suggests that the initial target of oxidation can be the alkyl carbon adjacent to N1. Such ma...
