BRCT Domains: Structure, Functions, and Implications in Disease—New Therapeutic Targets for Innovative Drug Discovery against Infections

Abstract excerpt

The search for new therapeutic targets and their implications in drug development remains an emerging scientific topic. BRCT-bearing proteins are found in Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya, and viruses. They are traditionally involved in DNA repair, recombination, and cell cycle control. To carry out these functions, BRCT domains are able to interact with DNA and proteins. Moreover, such domains are also implicated in...
