Potency of inhibitors depends upon the accessibility of their aromatic rings within the hydrophobic specificity pocket: a novel avenue for future aldose reductase inhibitor design.

abstract：:Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is a major DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) repair pathway that maintains genome integrity. However, this pathway may reduce radiotherapy efficacy by repairing DSBs on cancer cells. This research reported a computer-aided drug design (CADD) method to identify novel inhibitors from trad...
