DNA Repair, Volume 115, the latest release in the Advances in Protein Chemistry and Structural Biology series, provides an overview of current developments in mechanisms underlying DNA repair, their involvement in maintaining chromatin repair, the balance between chromosome breaks repair pathways, tumorigenesis, immune signaling and infection-induced inflammation. Specific chapters cover the Structure and function of the multi-subunit TFIIH with insights into nucleotide excision repair, Chromatin repair: how DNA packaging controls double-strand break repair, Controlling the balance between chromosome breaks repair pathways, The targeting of DNA repair pathways in the era of precision oncology, and much more.
