Mutagenesis By Agents That Generate Oxygen Free Radicals

Studies on mutagenesis in vitro by agents that generate oxygen free radicals have used both reversion assays (Loeb, et al., 1988; Cheng, et al., 1991; and for ward mutation assays (McBride et al., 1991).  Reversion assays measure the frequency and types of mutations at a defined mutant locus on a DNA molecule.  Forward mutation [...]
