  7. 5. Exploring new strategies of controlling DNA binding

    Author : Johanna Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Abstract Due to the increasing knowledge about DNA structure and function, as well as the fact that the sequence of the human genome is now known, DNA becomes more and more interesting as a drug target, especially for treatment of genetic diseases and cancer, but also for treatment of diseases caused by pathogens. However, one of the major challenges is to achieve specificity - in the case of genetic diseases to uniquely target a specific gene and in the case of the cancer and pathogens to target specific cells.
