Exposure of DNA to oxidative stress produces strand scission and a variety of damaged nucleotides, which can be mutagenic and/or cytotoxic. The determination of the effects of specific lesions on nucleic acid structure, stability, and their interaction with polymerase and repair enzymes provide a chemical basis for the biological effects of DNA damage.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
