Abstract excerpt
Abasic sites are often referred to as noninstructive lesions. The C1'-oxidized abasic site (2-deoxyribonolactone, L) is produced by several DNA damaging agents, including gamma-radiolysis and the neocarzinostatin chromophore (NCS). The effects of a C1'-oxidized abasic site incorporated at a defined site in single-stranded plasmid were examined in SOS polymerase-proficient and -deficient Escherichia coli. For...
