Scope and Contents

Contents

The genomes of aerobic organisms suffer chronic oxidation of guanine to the genotoxic product 8-oxoguanine (oxoG)
1
. Replicative DNA polymerases misread oxoG residues and insert adenine instead of cytosine opposite the oxidized base. Both bases in the resulting A·oxoG mispair are mutagenic lesions, and both must undergo base-specific replace...
