Our structural, biochemical and biophysical analyses provide a model by which human RAD52 open-ring cooperates with RPA to facilitate single-stranded DNA annealing repair. Our findings may provide new ways of targeting RAD52 in BRCA2 deficient tumours (7/8)

Our latest paper uses structural biology, biochemistry & biophysics to reveal the two-step catalytic mechanism of the human nucleotide pool sanitiser DNPH1. This will aid the development of novel inhibitors, which may be of use in breast cancer treatment. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
