Methyl-cytosine-driven structural changes enhance adduction kinetics of an exon 7 fragment of the p53 gene

Malla, Spundana; Kadimisetty, Karteek; Fu, You-Jun; Choudhary, Dharamainder; Schenkman, John B.; Rusling, James F. (Springer Nature, 2017-01-19)

Methylation of cytosine (C) at C-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites enhances reactivity of DNA towards electrophiles. Mutations at CpG sites on the p53 tumor suppressor gene that can result from these adductions are in turn ...
