DNA Photolyase
DNA Photolyase is an enzyme that repairs UV-damaged DNA. We are studying the mechanism of damage recognition using isothermal titration calorimetry.
Cryptochrome (VcCry1)
VcCry1 appears to be a single strand DNA repair enzyme. We are using isothermal titration calorimetry to understand its mechanism to recognize lesions on the DNA. We are also studying the oligomeric state of the enzyme and its role in DNA binding.
