title: Substrate-specificity of uvr excision repair.
abstract: The substrate specificity of the uvr endonuclease, the product of the uvrA, uvrB, and uvrC genes is reviewed. It is suggested that the relatively well-defined substrate specificity of this repair enzyme is useful as a guide in determining the nature of the DNA-lesion caused by a given mutagen.
