摘要: Nucleotide excision repair is a highly conserved process found in all kingdoms of life. This pathway removes large number different types deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) lesions that differ remarkably chemical structure and helical distortion. Human cells require at least 30 proteins to orchestrate this complex process. Mutations several these key genes encoding can cause cancer-prone syndromes humans.
