A kinetic mechanism of repair of DNA containing α-anomeric deoxyadenosine by human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1.

abstract：:Genetic information in genomes is ordered, arranged in such a way that it constitutes a code, the so-called cis regulatory code. The regulatory machinery of the cell, termed trans-factors, decodes and expresses this information. In this way, genomes maintain a potential repertoire of genetic programs, parts of which a...

One of the primary reasons for this promiscuity is that drugs bind to multiple distinctive target environments, a feature that we call mul...
