Nucleotide excision repair, a DNA repair mechanism, is the major repair pathway responsible for removal of platinum-based anticancer drugs. In this study, 146 bp duplexes were prepared containing either a site-specific ...
White, Katharine Alice(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Chemical fluorophores have superior photophysical properties to fluorescent proteins and are much smaller. However, in order to use these probes for live-cell protein imaging, highly specific labeling methods are required. ...
