Oxidative Stress and the DNA Mismatch Repair Pathway

Abstract excerpt

SIGNIFICANCE: Living organisms are under constant assault by a combination of environmental and endogenous oxidative DNA damage, inducing the modification of proteins, lipids, and DNA. Failure to resolve these oxidative modifications is associated with genome instability and the development of many disease states. To maintain genomic integrity, oxidative lesions must be precisely targeted and efficiently...
