Abstract excerpt
Oxygen radicals generated through normal cellular metabolism induce a variety of types of oxidative damage into DNA and its precursors. Among such types of oxidative damage, 7, 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG), an oxidized form of guanine, is known to be abundant and highly mutagenic. 8-OxoG can pair with adenine as well as cytosine, thus causing G: C to T: A transversions after DNA replication, if not repaired....
