In situ enzymatic reclosure of opened imidazole rings of purines in DNA damaged by gamma-irradiation.

When aqueous solutions of DNA were treated with 10-500 grays of gamma-rays, the imidazole rings of some adenine and guanine residues underwent scission, resulting in the conversion of these purines to formamidopyrimidines. It was found that formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase, known to remove imidaz...
