Mutational specificity of depurination.
The mutagenic consequences of damage to DNA produced by low pH and high temperature have been determined in a forward mutational system capable of detecting all classes of mutag...
Molecular Mechanisms of Antibody Somatic Hypermutation
Functional antibody genes are assembled by V-D-J joining and then diversified by somatic hypermutation. This hypermutation results from stepwise incorporation of single nucleoti...

Depurination causes mutations in SOS-induced cells.
Introduction of apurinic sites into phi X174 am3 DNA leads to loss of biological activity when measured in a transfection assay. For single-stranded DNA, approximately one apuri...
Chemical Carcinogens as Frameshift Mutagens: <i>Salmonella</i> DNA Sequence Sensitive to Mutagenesis by Polycyclic Carcinogens
Other investigators have shown that several polycyclic carcinogens are frameshift mutagens in Salmonella . Mutagenic potency of these compounds is assessed by ability to induce ...
