Interference with DNA repair after ionizing radiation by a pyrrole-imidazole polyamide.

Pyrrole-imidazole (Py-Im) polyamides are synthetic non-genotoxic minor groove-binding small molecules. We hypothesized that Py-Im polyamides can modulate the cellular response to ionizing radiation. Pre-treatment of cells with a Py-Im polyamide prior to exposure to ionizing radiation resulted in a d...
