Origins of spontaneous base substitutions.

Mutation research - 1 May 1994

von Borstel R C

Abstract excerpt

Although simple to understand, satisfying to the imagination, and compelling as a teaching aid for beginning students, the evidence is mounting that the tautomeric shift is neither a common nor a likely origin for spontaneous base substitutions. Indeed, other sources, such as ionized base mispairings with nonionized bases, wobble of a bases in the DNA, and transient misalignment of bases causing dislocations at...
