Adducts formed between electrophiles and nucleic acid bases are believed to play a key role in chemically induced mutations and cancer. M1Gâ dR is an endogenous exocyclic DNA adduct formed by the reaction of the dicarbonyl compound malondialdehyde with a dG residue in DNA. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of a class of modified oligodeoxyribonucleotides that are used to study the mutagenicity and repair of M1G. This unit presents methods for synthesizing M1Gâ dR by enzymatic coupling.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/143678/1/cpnc0102.pd
