Abstract excerpt
Exposure to many endogenous and exogenous agents can give rise to DNA alkylation, which constitutes a major type of DNA damage. Among the DNA alkylation products, alkyl phosphotriesters have relatively high frequencies of occurrence and are resistant to repair in mammalian tissues. However, little is known about how these lesions affect the efficiency and fidelity of DNA replication in cells or how the...
