Abstract excerpt
Adducts of 2-aminofluorene on the C-8 position of guanine block DNA synthesis and lead to mutation. N-acetylated adducts adopt the syn conformation such that in DNA the guanine is displaced from the helix by the fluorene ring while unacetylated adducts prefer the anti conformation allowing normal base pairing of the guanine with cytosine. In vitro synthesis by both E. coli DNA polymerase I and T4 DNA polymerase...
