Abstract excerpt
DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are complex DNA lesions generated by bifunctional alkylating agents, a class of compounds extensively used in cancer chemotherapy. Formation of an ICL covalently links the opposing strands of the double helix and results in severe disruptions of normal DNA functions, such as replication, transcription, and recombination. Because of the structural complexity, ICLs are most likely...
