1. Pathology of dNTP dysregulation
Abstract : Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) are precursors for DNA replication and repair. Mammalian cells have two distinct biosynthesis pathways to supply dNTPs: de novo and salvage pathways. READ MORE

2. Regulation of ribonucleotide reductase and the role of dNTP pools in genomic stability in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract : Every living organism is programmed to reproduce and to pass genetic information to descendants. The information has to be carefully copied and accurately transferred to the next generation. Therefore organisms have developed the network of conserved mechanisms to survey the protection and precise transfer of the genetic information. READ MORE

3. dNTPs : the alphabet of life
Abstract : From microscopic bacteria to the giant whale, every single living organism on Earth uses the same language of life: DNA. Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates––dNTPs (dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP)––are the building blocks of DNA and are therefore the “alphabet of life”. READ MORE

4. DNA precursor asymmetries, Mismatch Repair and their effect on mutation specificity
Abstract : In order to build any structure, a good supply of materials, accurate workers and quality control are needed. This is even the case when constructing DNA, the so-called “Code of Life.” For a species to continue to exist, this DNA code must be copied with incredibly high accuracy when each and every cell replicates.

5. Ribonucleotide reductase and DNA damage
Abstract : A prerequisite for a multicellular organism to survive is the ability to correctly replicate and repair DNA while minimizing the number of heritable mutations. To achieve this, cells need a balanced supply of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), the precursors for DNA synthesis. READ MORE
