Targeting DNA‐Dependent Protein Kinase for Cancer Therapy
19 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
The catalytic activity of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) is critical to its ability to repair lethal DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). This includes repair of DSB lesions resulting from oxidative stress, oncogene-induced transcription, or following therapeutic treatment of cancer cells. Armed with this knowledge, many attempts have been made to identify small-molecule inhibitors of DNA-PK activity as an...
