Why is it important?

The structure highlights protein-DNA interactions to non-specific undamaged double-stranded DNA and when compared to the structure of the specific complex with damaged uracil-containing DNA (Burmeister et al., 2015) it provides clues to structural transitions in lesion search of DNA repair enzymes.
