TL;DR
The crystal structure at 1.8 Å resolution of 8-HDF type photolyase from A. nidulans shows a backbone structure similar to that of MTHF type E. coliphotolyase but reveals a completely different binding site for the light-harvesting cofactor.

A statistical quantity (RfreeT) is defined that measures the agreement between observed and computed structure factor amplitudes for a 'test' set of reflections that is omitted in the modelling and refinement process and will provide a measure of the information content of recently proposed models of thermal motion and disorder, time-averaging and bulk solvent.

The three-dimensional crystallographic structure of DNA photolyase from Escherichia coli is presented and the atomic model was refined to an R value of 0.172 at 2.3 A resolution, suggesting that the Pyr<> Pyr "flips out" of the helix to fit into this hole, and that electron transfer between the flavin and the Pyr <> Pyr occurs over van der Waals contact distance.

Analysis of the distribution of polyglutamates revealed that the four species identified by HPLC corresponded to the tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexaglutamate derivatives of 10-formylfolate, consistent with gamma linkages in the triglutamine derivative with additional glutamates linked via the alpha-carboxyl group of the preceding residue.

One of the two chromophores present in this enzyme has been identified as the blue neutral flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) radical on the basis, in part, of visible absorption and electron spin resonance (ESR) data.

The purified Escherichia coli DNA photolyase (photoreactivating enzyme) was purified to homogeneity from a strain that greatly overproduces the protein, indicating that FAD is an intrinsic chromophore of the enzyme.

The photophysical/photochemical reactions leading to DNA repair were investigated by using time-resolved and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy and it was found that the excited singlet state of 8-HDF transfers energy to FADH2 at a rate of 1.9 x 10(10) s-1 and a quantum yield of 0.98.

It is found that FAD is required for substrate binding and catalysis and that 8-HDF is not essential for binding DNA, and participates in catalysis only through energy transfer to FADH2.
