Abstract excerpt
Abasic sites are formed in cells by various factors including environmental mutagens and considered to be involved in cancer initiation, promotion, and progression. A chemically stable abasic site analog (tetrahydrofuran-type analog, THF) induces untargeted base substitutions as well as targeted substitution and large deletion mutations in human cells. The untargeted substitutions may be initiated by the cleavage...
