Abstract excerpt
Chronic inflammation involving constant generation of nitric oxide (*NO) by macrophages has been recognized as a factor related to carcinogenesis. At the site of inflammation, nitrosatively deaminated DNA adducts such as 2'-deoxyinosine (dI) and 2'-deoxyxanthosine are primarily formed by *NO and may be associated with the development of cancer. In this study, we explored the miscoding properties of the dI lesion...
