Abstract excerpt
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are alkali labile lesions that, when encountered during DNA replication, can block polymerases or potentially result in mutagenic events. Owing to the instability of 2-deoxyribose lesions (AP), a chemically stable tetrahydrofuran analog (F) is often used as a model of abasic sites. A comparison of the two lesions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae revealed that the model lesion and...
