The structures of Vvn bound to an uncleaved DNA substrate and to a cleaved DNA product demonstrate not only the means for nonspecific DNA recognition but also the mechanism of DNA hydrolysis, which is dependent on a single metal ion.

It highlights both the mode of H-N-H motif binding at the minor groove of DNA, and the sugar-nonspecific interactions between ColE7 and DNA.
