Thymines opposite to bulky aristolactam-DNA adducts in duplex DNA are not targeted by human thymine-DNA glycosylase
Background Consumption of aristolochic acids (AA) from the plant Aristolochia results in the formation of bulky aristolactam-dA (dA-AL) and aristolactam-dG (dG-AL) adducts in cellular DNA ultimately leading to the development of urothelial cancer. Intriguingly, the dA-AL adducts induce A•T→T•A trans...
