Abstract excerpt
Site-specific mutagenicity of trans-opened adducts at the exocyclic N(2)-amino group of guanine by the (+)-(7R,8S,9S,10R)- and (-)-(7S,8R,9R,10S)-enantiomers of a benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide (7-hydroxyl and epoxide oxygen are trans, BPDE-2) has been determined in Chinese hamster V79 cells and their repair-deficient counterpart, V-H1 cells. Four vectors containing single 10S-BPDE-dG or 10R-BPDE-dG adducts...
