Non-flipping DNA glycosylase AlkD scans DNA without formation of a stable interrogation complex

Ahmadi et al. use a single-molecule tracking method to describe the DNA scanning mode of AlkD, a HEAT-like repeat DNA glycosylase. They show that, contrary to other glycosylases that use a base-flipping mechanism, AlkD scans the DNA without forming a stable interrogation complex.
