Abstract excerpt
This paper describes a biological test of the hypothesis that one or more components of the intracellular nucleotide pool represent a significant target for the mutagenic effects of alkylating agents. In other words, we ask whether mutagenesis can occur either through alkylation of susceptible nucleotide residues in DNA, or through alkylation of a free nucleotide, followed by its incorporation into DNA. Our...
