ON THE MECHANISM OF ULTRAVIOLET-INDUCED MUTATIONS
Journal Article
·
· Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (Netherlands)
Calculations based on the Huckel molecular-orbital method were made of excited states induced by ultraviolet radiation for the purine and pyrimidine bases of DNA. Data are presented for uracil, thymine, guanine, cytosine, and adenine. It is postulated that the ease of tautomeric transformations of these compounds in their excited states may account in part for the enhancing effect of ultraviolet radiation on the rate of mutagenesis.
