Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that the oxidant peroxynitrite (ONOO-) was strongly mutagenic in the supF shuttle vector pSP189 replicated in bacteria or human cells. Qualitative characteristics of the mutational spectra induced by ONOO- differed significantly from those reportedly caused by hydroxyl radical (OH.) in other experimental systems but showed similarities to spectra reportedly produced by singlet oxygen (1O2)....
