Blocking the DNA repair system by traditional Chinese medicine?

abstract：:It is generally believed that base-pair stacking interaction in DNA double helix is one of the strongest interactions that governs sequence directed structural variability. However, X-ray crystal structures of some base-paired doublet sequences have been seen to adopt different structures when flanked by different bas...
