      Jemth, Ann-Sofie; Gustafsson, Robert; Bräutigam, Lars; Henriksson, Linda; Vallin, Karl S.A.; Sarno, Antonio; Almlöf, Ingrid; Homan, Evert; Rasti, Azita; Warpman Berglund, Ulrika; Stenmark, Pål; Helleday, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Nucleotides in the free pool are more susceptible to nonenzymatic methylation than those protected in the DNA double helix. Methylated nucleotides like O6-methyl-dGTP can be mutagenic and toxic if incorporated into DNA. ...

      The onset of inflammation is associated with reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage to macromolecules like 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) in DNA. Because 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) binds 8-oxoG and ...
