Base flipping by PspGI enzymes. (A) Fluorescence of 2AP26 duplex (500 nM) under different conditions. Measurements were done in the MTase buffer without SAM or its analogs. MTase refers to M.PspGI (1.5 μM) and the divalent metal ions were added as chloride salts at 10 mM. The results shown are mean and SD from three parallel measurements made at 65°C. (B) Lack of cofactor requirement for base flipping by M.PspGI. Incubation conditions were similar to those in part A except no divalent metals were added. Instead SAM or SAH were added as indicated. The results shown are mean and SD from three measurements made at 65°C.
