Abstract excerpt
In this paper, we have constructed double stranded helices (60-mers) containing a single N-2-acetylaminofluorene (-AAF) adduct covalently bound to one of the three guanine residues of the Narl site (G1G2CG3CC). This sequence was identified as a strong frameshift mutation hot spot for many carcinogens that bind to the C8 position of guanine. Using DNase I as a probe for DNA conformation we show i) that the average...
