Drugs Modulate Interactions between the First Nucleotide-Binding Domain and the Fourth Cytoplasmic Loop of Human P-Glycoprotein.

abstract：:HTC cells have been labeled by short exposures to [3H]thymidine in order to identify newly synthesized DNA. By either isolating nuclei directly or isolating them after an extensive fixation with formaldehyde, we have been able to identify two phases in the maturation process of newly replicated chromatin. The first ph...
