Abstract excerpt
A hot spot for H2O2/Fe-mediated mutation has been observed between bases 154 and 170 of the supF gene in the mutation reporter plasmid pZ189 [Moraes et al. (1990) Carcinogenesis 11, 283; Akman et al. (1991) Mutat. Res. (in press)]. To further characterize this hot spot, we synthesized the 33mer d(pAAAGTGATGGTGGTGGGGGAAGGATTCGAACCT) (pZ33), which is complementary to bases 159-191 of the supF gene. pZ33 annealed...
