Abstract

Analytical techniques including mass spectrometry have proven invaluable for the detection of DNA adducts, but these methods do not map the squence context dependent distribution of adducts. The adduct maps are important to understanding the formation of pre-mutagenic lesions that appear in critical growth control genes that are linked to cellular transformation (e.g. P53). In this chapter, we describe some of the methods available for the detection of oxidized base adducts at nucleotide resolution in human cells and some results obtained using this technology.
