Differential human nucleotide excision repair of paired and mispaired cisplatin-DNA adducts
1 Feb 1997
Abstract excerpt
In order to understand the action of the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin, it is necessary to determine why some types of cisplatin-DNA intrastrand crosslinks are repaired better than others. Using cell extracts and circular duplex DNA, we compared nucleotide excision repair of uniquely placed 1,2-GG, 1,2-AG, and 1,3-GTG cisplatin-crosslinks, and a 2-acetylaminofluorene lesion. The 1,3 crosslink and the...
