Sunburns and aging skin are obvious effects of exposure to harmful UV rays, tobacco smoke and other carcinogens. But the effects aren't just skin deep. Inside the body, DNA is literally being torn ...

mismatch repair and nucleotide excision repair (NER). NER in human cells is a complex biochemical process during which a large multiprotein complex is assembled at several types of base damage.

Georgia State University researchers used simulations to study DNA repair mechanisms, focusing on the pre-incision complex in ...

Open’s bonnet, takes a deep breath and says, “It will cost you.” Scientists have harnessed the Summit supercomputer's raw ...

This method is often referred to as "light repair," because it is dependent on the presence of light energy. (In comparison, NER and most other repair mechanisms are frequently referred to as ...

Researchers at Georgia State University used the Summit supercomputer to study an elaborate molecular pathway called ...
