    Abigail J Smith
    DNA Protein Interactions Unit, Department of Biochemistry, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
    DNA Repair (Amst) 7:1670-9. 2008
    ..Our findings suggest that 8-oxoguanine is unlikely to be directly targeted by the transcription-coupled repair pathway, and identify a potential role for Mfd in reducing the level of transcriptional mutagenesis caused by abasic sites...

    DNA Protein Interactions Unit, School of Biochemistry, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1TD, UK
    Nucleic Acids Res 40:10408-16. 2012
    ..Our results indicate that regulation of Mfd occurs through multiple nodes, and that activation of Mfd may be a multi-stage process...
