Abstract excerpt
Mutations caused by DNA damage lead to the development of cancer. The critical step in the formation of these mutations is the replication of unrepaired lesions in DNA by DNA polymerases, a process termed translesion replication. Using a newly developed method for preparation of gapped plasmids, containing a site-specific synthetic abasic site, we analyzed translesion replication with purified mammalian DNA...
