Abstract excerpt
Platinum-based compounds such as cisplatin and carboplatin are currently used for the treatment of a variety of solid tumors. Their primary mode of action involves the production of cross-links in DNA. These compounds induce mutations in bacterial as well as in mammalian cells. Previously we determined the sequence specificity and mutational outcome in the Chinese hamster aprt gene in mutants isolated after...
