Abstract excerpt
The rate of bisulfite-induced deamination of cytosine to uracil in single-stranded (ss) DNA at physiological temperature and pH was monitored by a sensitive genetic assay. The assay is based on reversion of a mutation in the lacZ alpha gene of bacteriophage M13mp2 and employs ung- (NR9404) and ung+ (MC1061) bacterial strains which are isogenic except for uracil glycosylase activity. For ss DNA incubated with 1-50...
