oxidative DNA damage
Saturday 11 March 2006
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) from endogenous and environmental sources induce oxidative damage to DNA, and are a threat to the integrity of genome. This oxidative DNA damage can be restored by the base excision repair (BER) pathway that is conserved from bacteria to humans.
