Uracil-DNA glycosylase efficiency is modulated by substrate rigidity

P. B. Orndorff, S. Poddar, A. M. Owens, B. T. Ugaz, N. Kumari, S. Amin, W. D. Van Horn, A. van der Vaart, M. Levitus

This study shows that uracil-DNA glycosylase efficiency is determined by substrate flexibility, with more flexible DNA sequences showing higher enzyme activity.

Potassium Glutamate and Glycine Betaine Induce Self-Assembly of Sliding Clamps into Higher Order Oligomers

A. Purohit, L. G. Douma, L. Bloom, M. Levitus

This study shows that potassium glutamate and glycine betaine induce self-assembly of sliding clamps into higher-order oligomers by altering ionic interactions.
