Disrupted Micronuclei Cited as Potential Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Biomarkers

Cancer researchers have found that collapse of the nuclear membrane that surrounds micronuclei may allow these damaged segments of DNA to reenter the cell's genetic material with possible cancer-causing consequences. More...

Image: Structures of the adenovirus proteinase in inactive form (turquoise) and activated (yellow) by binding of a cofactor (beige), in association with a promising inhibitor compound identified in this research (circular "ball and stick" molecule). In the inactive form, left, the inhibitor blocks the "pocket" into which the cofactor binds, thus preventing the enzyme from becoming active. In the fully activated enzyme, right, the inhibitor binds in the now-exposed protein-cleaving "active site," thus blocking the enzyme's protein-cleaving ability. The fact that this inhibitor works to disable the proteinase in two different ways at two different sites increases the chance that drugs based on this compound will be successful at fighting adenovirus infection. It also makes it less likely that adenovirus will develop resistance to such drugs (Photo courtesy of Brookhaven National Laboratory).
