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...
