Abstract excerpt
Oxidative damage to DNA produces abasic sites resulting from the formal hydrolysis of the nucleotides' glycosidic bonds, along with a variety of oxidized abasic sites. The C4'-oxidized abasic site (C4-AP) is produced by several DNA-damaging agents. This lesion accounts for approximately 40% of the DNA damage produced by bleomycin. The effect of a C4'-oxidized abasic site incorporated at a defined site in a...
