Abstract excerpt
Oxidatively damaged bases induce mutations and are involved in cancer initiation. 8-Oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (G°, 8-hydroxyguanine) is an abundant oxidized base that induces targeted G:C→T:A transversions in human cells, as well as untargeted base substitution (action-at-a-distance) mutations of the G bases of 5'-GpA-3' dinucleotides. The action-at-a-distance mutations become more frequent than the targeted...
