Effect of Copper(II) Ion Binding by Porin P1 Precursor Fragments from <i>Fusobacterium nucleatum</i> on DNA Degradation

<i>Fusobacterium nucleatum</i> is one of the most notorious species involved in colorectal cancer. It was reported that numerous outer membrane proteins (OMP) are actively involved in carcinogenesis. In this paper, the structure and stability of certain complexes, as well as DNA cleavage...
