Abstract excerpt
Apurinic/apyrimidinic sites are the most common forms of DNA damage under physiological conditions, yet their structural and dynamical behavior within nucleosome core particles has just begun to be investigated and is dramatically different from that of abasic sites in B-DNA. Clusters of two or more abasic sites are repaired even less efficiently and hence constitute hot spots of high mutagenicity notably due to...
