Virtual screening and biological evaluation of inhibitors targeting the XPA-ERCC1 interaction.

<h4>Background</h4>Nucleotide excision repair (NER) removes many types of DNA lesions including those induced by UV radiation and platinum-based therapy. Resistance to platinum-based therapy correlates with high expression of ERCC1, a major element of the NER machinery. The interaction b...
