Question
Chapter 29, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the oxidation of guanine bases resulting in the expansion of the triplet repeat needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Out of all the 4 DNA bases only guanine has the lowest reduction potential. Therefore, it is easily oxidized. Guanine oxidation products results in G: C − T: A transversion through means of
