Abstract excerpt
Intracellular pool sizes of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) are highly regulated. Unbalanced dNTP pools, created by abnormal accumulation or deficiency of one nucleotide, are known to be mutagenic and to have other genotoxic consequences. Recent studies in our laboratory on DNA replication in vitro suggested that balanced accumulation of dNTPs, in which all four pools increase proportionately, also...
