Abstract excerpt
Alkylation is one of the most ubiquitous forms of DNA lesions. However, the motif preferences and substrates for the activity of the major types of alkylating agents defined by their nucleophilic substitution reactions (SN1 and SN2) are still unclear. Utilizing yeast strains engineered for large-scale production of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), we probed the substrate specificity, mutation spectra and signatures...
