Characterisation of the molecular structure and function of topoisomerase I using anticancer agents as molecular probes acting in a new allosteric binding-site

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Topoisomerases (Topo) are important therapeutic targets to treat many cancers. To that end, inhibitors of these enzymes are amongst the most widely used anticancer drugs. For example, Topo I is an enzyme essential to maintain the integrity of our genetic code to avoid introducing harmful mutations while inhibitors of these enzymes induce breakages of this code and death of the cells. I have developed for nearly two years as an independent researcher a new family of promising anticancer drugs referred to “
