How (5′S) and (5′R) 5′,8-Cyclo-2′-Deoxypurines Affect Base Excision Repair of Clustered DNA Damage in Nuclear Extracts of xrs5 Cells? A Biochemical Study [PDF]
Cells, 2021 The clustered DNA lesions (CDLs) are a characteristic feature of ionizing radiation’s impact on the human genetic material. CDLs impair the efficiency of cellular repair machinery, especially base excision repair (BER).

When UDG and hAPE1 Meet Cyclopurines. How (5′R) and (5′S) 5′,8-Cyclo-2′-deoxyadenosine and 5′,8-Cyclo-2′-deoxyguanosine Affect UDG and hAPE1 Activity? [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 Ionizing radiation is a factor that seriously damages cellular mechanisms/macromolecules, e.g., by inducing damage in the human genome, such as 5′,8-cyclo-2′-deoxypurines (cdPus).

The Influence of 5′R and 5′S cdA and cdG on the Activity of BsmAI and SspI Restriction Enzymes [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 Restriction endonucleases (REs) are intra-bacterial scissors that are considered tools in the fight against foreign genetic material. SspI and BsmAI, examined in this study, cleave dsDNA at their site of recognition or within a short distance of it. Both

The Influence of (5′R)- and (5′S)-5′,8-Cyclo-2′-Deoxyadenosine on UDG and hAPE1 Activity. Tandem Lesions are the Base Excision Repair System’s Nightmare [PDF]
Cells, 2019 DNA lesions are formed continuously in each living cell as a result of environmental factors, ionisation radiation, metabolic processes, etc. Most lesions are removed from the genome by the base excision repair system (BER).

Clustered DNA Damage: Electronic Properties and Their Influence on Charge Transfer. 7,8-Dihydro-8-Oxo-2′-Deoxyguaosine Versus 5′,8-Cyclo-2′-Deoxyadenosines: A Theoretical Approach [PDF]
Cells, 2020 Approximately 3 × 1017 DNA damage events take place per hour in the human body. Within clustered DNA lesions, they pose a serious problem for repair proteins, especially for iron−sulfur glycosylases (MutyH), which can recognize them by the ...

An ameliorative protocol for the quantification of purine 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxynucleosides in oxidized DNA [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2015 5',8-Cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (cdA) and 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine (cdG) are lesions resulting from hydroxyl radical (HO•) attack on the 5'H of the nucleoside sugar moiety and exist in both 5'R and 5'S diastereomeric forms.

The Effect of 8,5′-Cyclo 2′-deoxyadenosine on the Activity of 10-23 DNAzyme: Experimental and Theoretical Study [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular SciencesThe in vivo effectiveness of DNAzymes 10-23 (Dz10-23) is limited due to the low concentration of divalent cations. Modifications of the catalytic loop are being sought to increase the activity of Dz10-23 in physiological conditions.
