Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

Non-productive MUG-DNA complex

Overview

Base-excision of a self-complementary oligonucleotide with central G:T, mismatches by the G:T/U-specific mismatch DNA glycosylase (MUG), generates, an unusual DNA structure which is remarkably similar in conformation to an, interstrand DNA adduct of the anti-tumor drug, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum. The abasic sugars generated by excision of, the mismatched thymines are extruded from the double-helix, and the, 'widowed' deoxyguanosines rotate so that their N7 and O6 groups protrude, into the minor groove of the duplex and restack in an interleaved, intercalative geometry, generating a kink in the helix axis.
