Abstract excerpt
Environmental exposure and cellular metabolism can give rise to DNA alkylation, which can occur on the nitrogen and oxygen atoms of nucleobases, as well as on the phosphate backbone. Although O6-alkyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (O6-alkyl-dG) lesions are known to be associated with cancer, not much is known about how the alkyl group structures in these lesions affect their repair and replicative bypass in vivo or how...
