Crystal structure of DMA photolyase from Anacystis nidulans

Nature Structural Biology volume 4, pages 887–891 (1997)Cite this article

The crystal structure at 1.8 Å resolution of 8-HDF type photolyase from A. nidulans shows a backbone structure similar to that of MTHF type E. coli photolyase but reveals a completely different binding site for the light-harvesting cofactor.
