Abstract excerpt
The DNA lesion 8-oxo-guanine (8-oxo-G) is a highly mutagenic product of the interaction between reactive oxygen species and DNA. To maintain genomic integrity, cells have evolved mechanisms capable of removing this frequently arising oxidative lesion. Mismatch repair (MMR) appears to be one pathway associated with the repair of 8-oxo-G lesions (DeWeese, T. L., Shipman, J. M., Larrier, N. A., Buckley, N. M., Kidd,...
