Abstract excerpt
In the present work, we evaluated (p < 0.05) the participation of base excision repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) mechanisms in repairing DNA lesions induced by N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) at 1.5 ng/mL-36.5 microg/mL, through cell survival, in different single and double Escherichia coli DNA repair mutants (uvrA, uvrB, uvrC, fpg, nth, xthA, fpg/nth, uvrA/fpg, fpg/xthA, mutY, and fpg/mutY), using...
