Abstract

Abstract : The Front Cover shows a group of three enzyme copies of the human 8‐oxo Guanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) safeguarded by specific and potent inhibitors TH8535 and TH5487. In that way oxidative DNA damage in form of 8‐oxo Guanine is accumulated and leads to further oxidation products and base mispairing—threatening genome stability in high oxidative stress cancers. The article describes the discovery of TH5487 as the most frequently used molecular probe of OGG1 and TH8535 as the most potent member of the class.
