Synthesis and in vitro replicatuion studies of N5-alkylated formamidopyrimicine (FAPy-dGuo) adducts in DNA.

Methylating agents react with DNA to give the cationic N7-methyl deoxyguanosine adduct, which can undergo hydrolytic opening of the imidazole ring to form 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxy-N5-(methyl)-formamido-pyrimidine (MeFAPy-dGuo) adduct. MeFAPy-dGuo lesion represents an important but largely unexplored cl...
