DNA repair glycosylase hNEIL1 triages damaged bases via competing interaction modes

hNEIL1 (human endonuclease VIII-like 1) is a broadly specific DNA glycosylase for base excision repair. Here, the authors show that hNEIL1 can assume activated or triage conformations: the structural basis for the mechanism that enables broad specificity and reduces futile repair of normal bases.
