Abstract excerpt
The antitumor agent camptothecin targets DNA topoisomerase I by reversibly stabilizing a covalent enzyme-DNA intermediate. The subsequent collision of DNA replication forks with these drug-enzyme-DNA complexes produces the cytotoxic DNA lesions that signal cell cycle arrest and ultimately lead to cell death. Despite intense investigation, the character of the lesions produced and the repair processes that resolve...
