Abstract excerpt
Sulfhydryl compounds can protect DNA against free-radical-induced DNA damages not only by scavenging of radicals, but also by chemical non-enzymatic repair or modification of such damages by hydrogen-donation. To investigate the influence of chemical repair and modification on mutations, induced by gamma-radiation-generated free radicals (.OH, .H), phosphate-buffered aqueous solutions of double-stranded (ds) M13...
