DNA fragment conformations in adducts with Kiteplatin
The anticancer-active platinum complex with cis-1,4-diaminocyclohexane has proved to be very valuable in detecting multiple conformers in adducts with oligonucleotides.

Conformational control of anticancer activity: the application of arene-linked dinuclear ruthenium(II) organometallics [PDF]
Dinuclear metal complexes have emerged as a promising class of biologically active compounds which possess unique anticancer activity. Here, we describe a novel series of arene-linked dinuclear organometallic Ru(II) complexes, where the relative ...

Biomarker-based evaluation of aflatoxin B1 exposure in cattle [PDF]
Background and Aim: Assessment of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) exposure in cattle traditionally relies on feed analysis, which may not reflect chronic exposure or accurately indicate individual susceptibility.

Quantitation of DNA adducts by stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry.
Exposure to endogenous and exogenous chemicals can lead to the formation of structurally modified DNA bases (DNA adducts). If not repaired, these nucleobase lesions can cause polymerase errors during DNA replication, leading to heritable mutations and ...

Benzo[a]pyrene-induced DNA adducts and gene expression profiles in target and non-target organs for carcinogenesis in mice [PDF]
Background: Gene expression changes induced by carcinogens may identify differences in molecular function between target and non-target organs. Target organs for benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) carcinogenicity in mice (lung, spleen and forestomach) and three non ...

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Changes in the DNA- Structure as Result of Interactions with Cisplatin [PDF]
The 3'-monofunctional adduct of cisplatin and d(CTCTG*G*TCTC)2 duplex DNA in solvent with explicit counter ions and water molecules were subjected to MD- simulation with AMBER force field on a nanosecond time scale. In order to simulate the closure of the bond between the Pt and 5'-guanine-N7 atoms, the forces acting between them were gradually ...

32P-Postlabeling analysis of IQ, MelQx and PhIP adducts formed in vitro in DNA and polynucleotides and found in vivo in hepatic DNA from IQ-, MelQx- and PhIP-treated monkeys [PDF]
The P-32-postlabeling method was used to examine the adducts in DNA, polynucleotides, and mononucleotides reacted in vitro with the N-hydroxy and N-acetoxy derivatives of 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), 2-amino-3, 8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f ...

The speciation of Australopithecus and Paranthropus was caused by introgression from the Gorilla lineage [PDF]
The discovery of Paranthropus deyiremeda in 3.3-3.5 million year old fossil sites in Afar (Haile-Selassie, 2015), together with 30% of the gorilla genome showing lineage sorting between humans and chimpanzees (Scally, 2012), and a NUMT ("nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment") that is shared by both gorillas, humans and chimpanzees, and that dates back to ...

Elongation/Compaction of Giant DNA Caused by Depletion Interaction with a Flexible Polymer [PDF]
Structural changes in giant DNA induced by the addition of the flexible polymer PEG were examined by the method of single-DNA observation. In dilute DNA conditions, individual DNA assumes a compact state via a discrete coil-globule transition, whereas in concentrated solution, DNA molecules exhibit an extended conformation via macroscopic phase ...

DNA adducts as a dosimeter for risk estimation.
The dose response for O6-methylguanine (O6MG) formation and cytotoxicity was determined in lung and nasal mucosa from Fischer 344 rats during multiple dose administration of the tobacco-specific nitrosamine-4-(N-methyl-N-nitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK).
