DNA topoisomerases (topos) and DNA polymerases (pols) are involved in many aspects of DNA metabolism such as DNA replication and repair. This book aims to assess the relative inhibitory effects of conjugated and normal fatty acids, and to assess the efficacy of the combined treatment of fatty acids and X-ray radiation on human cancer cells.
