Abstract excerpt
To assess the role of oxidative stress on the replication of mitochondrial DNA, we examined the kinetics of incorporation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxodG) triphosphate catalyzed by the human mitochondrial DNA polymerase. Using transient state kinetic methods, we quantified the kinetics of incorporation, excision, and extension beyond a base pair containing 8-oxodG. The 8-oxodGTP was incorporated opposite...
