DNA DAMAGE AND REPAIR
DNA Damage
Alkylation of Bases
Process where electrophiles: encounter negative center, attack and add carbon alkyl group
N7 alkylation of guanine (X), N3 produce 3-methyl adenine that cannot base pair with other bases
-
stalling DNA replication (noncoding base), lead to mutation
-
-
Radiation
UV (low energy, formation of pyrimidine dimers) cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs)
Gamma and xray (high E, form high reactive free radicals) alter bases and break strand

Excision Repair
-
Base Excision Repair
-
begins w DNA glycosylase
extrude a base, clip out the damaged base, leaves an apurinic site (attract DNA repair enzyme)
DNA repair enzyme
remove remaining deoxyribose phosphate, replace w nucleotide, ligase seal nick
