The Response of the Replication Apparatus to Leading Template Strand Blocks
Duplication of the genome requires the replication apparatus to overcome a variety of impediments, including covalent DNA adducts, the most challenging of which is on the leading template strand.

Imidazopurinones are markers of physiological genomic damage linked to DNA instability and glyoxalase 1-associated tumour multidrug resistance [PDF]
Glyoxal and methylglyoxal are reactive dicarbonyl metabolites formed and metabolized in physiological systems. Increased exposure to these dicarbonyls is linked to mutagenesis and cytotoxicity and enhanced dicarbonyl metabolism by overexpression of ...

Diazido mixed-amine platinum(IV) anticancer complexes activatable by visible-light form novel DNA adducts [PDF]
Platinum diam(m)ine complexes, such as cisplatin, are successful anticancer drugs, but suffer from problems of resistance and side-effects. Photoactivatable PtIV prodrugs offer the potential of targeted drug release and new mechanisms of action.

Understanding cisplatin resistance using cellular models [PDF]
Many mechanisms of cisplatin resistance have been proposed from studies of cellular models of resistance including changes in cellular drug accumulation, detoxification of the drug, inhibition of apoptosis and repair of the DNA adducts.

Recent Studies on DNA Adducts Resulting from Human Exposure to Tobacco Smoke
DNA adducts are believed to play a central role in the induction of cancer in cigarette smokers and are proposed as being potential biomarkers of cancer risk. We have summarized research conducted since 2012 on DNA adduct formation in smokers.

Formation and Repair of Tobacco Carcinogen-Derived Bulky DNA Adducts
DNA adducts play a central role in chemical carcinogenesis. The analysis of formation and repair of smoking-related DNA adducts remains particularly challenging as both smokers and nonsmokers exposed to smoke are repetitively under attack from complex ...
