2020-09-27
The central role of DNA-PK in the NHEJ NHEJ can be divided in several steps (Fig. 1A): 1) recognition and binding of Ku at each ends of the DSB following by the assembly of the DNA-PK at the break points and bridging; 2) phosphorylation of the DNA ends by DNA-PKcs; 3) ligation of the ends by DNA

What does this mean for cancer therapy? We found that components of the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway rarely mutate in cancer, clearly showing its importance. In our experimental models, the pathway, including DHODH itself, was primed to respond when the block in CoQ redox-cycling was removed

Introduction The allergic response is a complex process involving the interaction of several mediators; among these, cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) represent one of the most important actors in the pathogenesis of airway allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and asthma [1]. Pharmacological

Introduction Cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A is the most important enzyme involved in the metabolism of 30–40% of currently prescribed drugs [1]. The Chaetocin level and activity of CYP3A show large intra- and inter-individual variability, which contributes to unpredictable drug response and toxicity. A m

The interest for lanthanide and actinide complexes appeared again recently, due to their unique features in the design of Single Molecule Magnets (SMM). Lanthanide SMMs are interesting due to large their intrinsic magnetic anisotropy, but their core 4f orbitals minimally participate in exchange inte

Simon discusses this in the remarks and historical notes section following the general discussion of dynamically defined Verblunsky coefficients; see [12, pp. 706–707]. He points out that “understanding almost periodic Verblunsky coefficients is an intriguing open area” and in particular describes w

Nearly 60years ago, the first two EW-7197 which catalyze the phosphorylation of proteins were discovered [1]. Protein phosphorylation was originally identified as a regulatory mechanism for the control of glycogen metabolism. Today it is clear that protein phosphorylation regulates most aspects of

Another potential source of variable affinities is inherent in the method of RBA determination. While several reports simply use relative IC50 values as RBAs [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], these are only an approximate measure of relative affinity since IC50 varies due to experimental and biological

To study systemic potential of the selected compounds as EP1 receptor antagonist, they were evaluated with regard to the sulprostane-induced increase of intravesical bladder pressure in rats. Some of the analogs, 13 and 15–17, which were selected on the basis of their in vitro EP1 receptor affinity,
