Background: Deinococcus radiodurans is an extremely radiation and desiccation resistant bacterium which can
tolerate radiation doses up to 5,000 Grays without losing viability. We are studying the role of DNA repair and
replication proteins for this unusual phenotype by a structural biology approach. The DNA polymerase III β subunit
(β-clamp) acts as a sliding clamp on DNA, promoting the binding ...
