Uracil
Involves the removal of a purine from the DNA base through hydrolysis
Depurination
Alkylating agents can add a methyl or ethyl group to a nitrogenous base
Alkylation of Base
Nitrogen, sulfur mustard, methyl and ethyl methane sulfonate are examples of
Alyklating Agents
Can lead to transition, transversion, and frame shift mutations
Alkylation of Base
Interchange of a purine to another purine, or of a
pyrimidine to another pyrimidine in DNA (similar bases)
Transition
interchange of a pyrimidine to a purine or of a purine to a pyrimidine in DNA (dissimilar bases)
Transversion
a mutation caused by insertion or deletion of bases that alters the reading frame for codons
Frame Shift Mutatioon
Derivatives of normal bases are incorporated into the DNA
Base-Analog Incorporation
5-bromouracil, 2-aminopurine, 6-mercaptopurine, and acycloguanosine
are examples of
Base-Analogs
____are molecules that take the place of the normal nitrogenous
bases in DNA (A, T, C, G)
Base analogs
What causes linkage of adjacent thymine bases along the DNA strand? Type of damage?
UV Light; Thymine-Thymine dimers
Alkylating agents that can cause cross-linkages that are either interstrand or intrastrand
Bifunctional Alkylating Agent Cross-Linkage
