Cellular pathway suggests mechanism of chemotherapy resistance
Purines, namely adenine and guanine, are one of two chemical compounds that cells use to make the building blocks of DNA and RNA. (The other are pyrimidines, cytosine and thymine.) Cells can make purines in two ways: by building them from scratch, known as "de novo purine biosynthesis,&q . . .
