Sealing of nicks with 3′ N:abasic lesions. (Top panel) The distributions of radiolabeled AppNick intermediate and sealed product during the reaction of Rnl2 at a 3′ A:abasic nick are plotted versus time. Each datum is the average of three separate kinetic experiments. The curve fits are shown. (Bottom panel) The step 2 and step 3 rate constants for sealing nicks with the indicated 3′-OH N:abasic configurations are shown.
