New Protein Involved in Mitochrondrial DNA Repair Identified

New research by Linlin Zhao and Chia-En Chang, professors of Chemistry and ETOX faculty members, and their graduate students on the Mitochondrial Transcription Factor A (TFAM) has shown that, in addition to helping package DNA in the mitochondria, this protein is also involved in the repair of damaged DNA bases. Their work was recently published in the journal ACS Chemical Biology and highlighted in UCR News.  Our congratulations to Linlin, Chia-En and their students for this recognition of their work.  [The image above is from the UCR News article.]
