Small Molecule Docking of DNA Repair Proteins Associated with Cancer Survival Following PCNA Metagene Adjustment: A Potential Novel Class of Repair Inhibitors

Natural and synthetic small molecules from the NCI Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) were employed in molecular dynamics-based docking with DNA repair proteins whose RNA-Seq based expression was associated with overall cancer survival (OS) after adjustment for the PCNA metagene. The compounds employed were required to elicit a sensitive response (vs. resistance) in more than half of the cell lines tested for each cancer. Methodological...
