Abstract excerpt
Oxidative degradation of guanine to 2,6-diamino-4-oxo-5-formamidopyrimidine (FapyG) is believed to be mutagenic. It has been proposed recently that the enol tautomer of FapyG is mainly responsible for this effect leading to a guanine-to-thymine mutation (T. H. Gehrke, U. Lischke, K. L. Gasteiger, S. Schneider, S. Arnold, H. C. Muller, D. S. Stephenson, H. Zipse, T. Carell, Nat. Chem. Biol.- 2013, 9, 455-461)....
