Effects of mono- and divalent metal ions on DNA binding and catalysis of human apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1.

abstract：:Induced reprogramming of somatic cells has had a great impact on stem cell research, and the reprogramming technologies have evolved from four transgenic factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc; OSKM) to just a few microRNAs (mainly miR-290/302 seed family). Despite these advances, the molecular events occurring during v...
