Biologically relevant oxidants and terminology, classification and nomenclature of oxidatively generated damage to nucleobases and 2-deoxyribose in nucleic acids.
A broad scientific community is involved in investigations aimed at delineating the mechanisms of formation and cellular processing of oxidatively generated damage to nucleic acids. Perhaps as a consequence of this breadth of research expertise, there are nomenclature problems for several of the oxidized bases including 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoGua), a ubiquitous marker of almost every ty...
متن کاملInvolvement of oxidatively damaged DNA and repair in cancer development and aging.
DNA damage and DNA repair may mediate several cellular processes, like replication and transcription, mutagenesis and apoptosis and thus may be important factors in the development and pathology of an organism, including cancer. DNA is constantly damaged by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) directly and also by products of lipid peroxidation (LPO), which form exo...
متن کامل5,6-Dihydropyrimidine Peroxyl Radical Reactivity in DNA
Nucleobase radicals are a major family of reactive species produced in DNA as a result of oxidative stress. Two such radicals, 5-hydroxy-5,6-dihydrothymidin-6-yl radical (1) and 5,6-dihydrouridin-6-yl radical (5), were independently generated within chemically synthesized oligonucleotides from photochemical precursors. Neither nucleobase radical produces direct strand breaks or alkali-labile le...
متن کاملA new nomenclature for fungi
Important changes brought about by the Melbourne International Code of Nomenclature for Algae,FungiandPlantsare briefly reviewed concerning a clarification of the spelling and typification of sanctioned fungal names, the recognition of electronic publication for the validity of nomenclatural novelties, permission to use English diagnoses or descriptions for their valid publication, and the requ...
متن کاملDietary antioxidants and beneficial effect on oxidatively damaged DNA.
Many biomonitoring studies have investigated the role of antioxidants in reducing oxidatively generated DNA damage in urine and white blood cells. A collective interpretation is difficult because many studies lack sufficient control and have unreasonably high baseline levels of oxidatively damaged DNA. In a survey of this antioxidant hypothesis, we identified 139 cross-sectional and interventio...
