Abstract excerpt
Chloroacetaldehyde (CAA) is a metabolite of the human carcinogen vinyl chloride. CAA produces several types of DNA adducts including the exocyclic base adducts 3,N(4)-ethenocytosine, 1,N(6)-ethenoadenine, N(2),3-ethenoguanine, and 1,N(2)-ethenoguanine. Adducts of CAA with 5-methylcytosine have not yet been characterized. Here we have analyzed the mutational spectra produced by CAA in the supF gene of the pSP189...
