Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Derin Akdeniz studies the molecular mechanisms underlying gene regulation, with a particular focus on the interaction of DNA secondary structures with enzymes involved in genetic processes. Their recent publication investigates how G-quadruplex structures within the promoter regions of the proto-oncogenes *BCL2* and *MYC* influence the binding and activity of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AICDA). This research explores the potential for these DNA structures to serve as targets for therapeutic interventions. Akdeniz collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including R. Mangold and Mojnu Miah, contributing to a growing body of work in molecular biology and cancer-related research.
