Levene is credited with many firsts. For instance, he was the first to discover the order of the three major components of a single nucleotide (phosphate-sugar-base); the first to discover the ...

Scientists have tapped into the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called nucleotide excision ...

Her findings suggest that the salvage pathway could be an access route for cancer cells to get their nucleotide supply when chemotherapeutic drugs inhibit the de novo pathway. But along the same lines ...

These include three discrete pathways for the excision of damaged bases, called base excision repair, mismatch repair and nucleotide excision repair (NER). NER in human cells is a complex ...
