Drug-DNA interaction protocols

In a paper published by Jurgen Drews on the march 17, 2000 issue of Science a figure reporting molecular targets of drug therapy, classified according to biochemical criteria, showed that only 2% of drugs were directed to DNA. Presently, the number of DNA targeting molecules, primarily for Cancer tr...
