Structural analysis of Wss1 protein from saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract Wss1 is a DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) repair protein, which is responsible for degradation of the protein components in DPCs. In this investigation, crystal structure of the protease domain from saccharomyces cerevisiae Wss1 (ScWss1) was solved and was compared with the known crystal stru...
