Abstract excerpt
The specificity of N-(deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene (G-8-AAF) adducts in double-stranded DNAs from M13mp8 and M13mp9 bacteriophage was determined following transfection of modified DNA with multiple adducts into competent JM103 cells. Mutant phages were selected by phenotypic screening for colorless or light blue plaques indicating a defective beta-galactosidase marker enzyme. Mutation frequencies...
