Molecular model of the chemotherapy drug olaparib. This drug targets the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) repair enzyme PARP-1 (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase). Cancers caused by mutations in the BRCA1 or 2 genes,which include some ovarian,breast and prostate cancers,rely heavily on this enzyme to repair their DNA. If a cell's DNA cannot be repaired,the cell dies. Atoms are represented as blobs and are colour-coded: carbon (light blue),hydrogen (white),nitrogen (dark blue),oxygen (red) and fluorine (green) | |
