New study by Katrine Aalbæk Jepsen from the University of Southern Denmark, in Odense, and her colleague Ilia Solov’yov unveils the binding mechanisms of enzymes capable of repairing DNA damaged by UV light before any risk of cellular malfunction sets in.

Computational resources for the simulations were provided by the DeIC National HPC Center, SDU.
