## Abstract O^6^‐methylguanine‐DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a repair protein that specifically removes promutagenic alkyl groups from the O^6^ position of guanine in DNA. __MGMT__ is transcriptionally silenced by promoter hypermethylation in several human cancers. Methylation‐specific PCR (MSP)
## Abstract The hepatocarcinogen aflatoxin B~1~ (AFB~1~) is a potent recombinagen but weak mutagen in the yeast __Saccharomyces cerevisiae__. AFB~1~ exposure induces DNA damage‐inducible genes, such as __RAD51__ and those encoding ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), through a __MEC1__ (ATR homolog)‐dep
## Abstract The effect of the location of the interstrand cross‐link formed by __trans__‐diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (transplatin) on the thermal stability and energetics of 15‐mer DNA duplex has been investigated. The duplex containing single, site‐specific cross‐link, thermodynamically equivalen
An immunoslot blotting (ISB) method for quantitating aflatoxin B1-DNA adduct levels has been developed and used to examine the relationship between dose and hepatic aflatoxin B1-DNA adduct levels in rats fed aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in the diet at dose levels of between 0.5 and 10 micrograms/kg/day. The
