QUICK FIX: From left, Frederick Alt and Guillermo Taccioli and their colleagues identified DNA-dependent kinase as a key enzyme involved in DNA repair. The way that DNA repairs itself recently has ...

How do we find out which protein works in a particular DNA repair pathway? We know that if a DNA repair gene is mutated, cells become more sensitive to DNA damaging agents. Researchers in the ...

Isolated on white background. Vector Vitamin B3 molecular structure vector, isolated on white background with its name labeled. Important in DNA repair, we an find it in milk, beans, meat and eggs.

Homologous recombination plays essential roles in the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and collapsed replication forks. The fundamental reaction in homologous recombination is the exchange of ...

DNA damage and repair refers to the creation and correction of DNA lesions that threaten genome integrity. Because DNA replication errors or environmental agents that damage DNA can introduce ...

The genetic connections between DNA repair pathways and human cancer predisposition have fueled interest in the proteins that recognize and repair specific sites of DNA damage. The repair enzymes are ...

The breakdown in this ongoing dance of DNA damage and repair is one of the root causes ... and so my whole focus is using my background in drug discovery to target proteins we think are involved ...
