DNA (alkylation)
- Molecular classification
- DNA, Nucleic acid
01
Overview
DNA alkylation refers to the covalent addition of alkyl groups to DNA bases or the phosphate backbone, typically induced by exposure to alkylating agents. This chemical modification disrupts DNA structure and function, leading to mutations, cytotoxicity, and genomic instability. It is a fundamental process in toxicology, carcinogenesis, and cancer therapy, where alkylating agents are used to induce lethal DNA damage in rapidly dividing cancer cells.
