Abstract excerpt
Involvement of topoisomerase II in the repair of damage by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, UV light and gamma-rays has been studied using quiescent V79 cells. In each case, the presence of nalidixic acid, the inhibitor of topoisomerase II, decreased the survival through suppression of potentially lethal damage repair. There was also an increase in the yield of mutants because of such suppression. The...
