Abstract excerpt
One of the most predominating oxidative DNA damages, both spontaneously formed and after gamma-radiation is 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8oxoG). This 8oxoG is a mutagenic lesion because it can mispair with adenine instead of the correct cytosine leading to G:C to T:A transversions. In Escherichia coli (E. Coli) base excision repair (BER) is one of the most important repair systems for the repair of 8oxoG and other...
