Development of Organocatalytic Switches of OGG1 that Protect Mitochondria under Oxidative Stress
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a major component of neurodegeneration. The mitochondrial genome is prone to oxidative damage, and repair proteins are important to maintain mitochondrial DNA integrity. OGG1 initiates base excision repair of oxidative DNA lesions in both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. While inhibitor...
