DNA Crosslinking at Guanine N7 Position
- Molecular classification
- DNA modification, Adduct
01
Overview
DNA crosslinking at the guanine N7 position refers to the formation of covalent bonds between two nucleotides in DNA, specifically involving the nitrogen atom at position 7 (N7) of guanine bases. This site is highly nucleophilic and exposed in the major groove of double-helical DNA, making it a frequent target for alkylating agents and crosslinking chemicals. Crosslinking at this site can inhibit replication and transcription, leading to cell death, and is exploited in some chemotherapies. While N7-Guanine adducts can serve as sensitive biomarkers for exposure to carcinogens, they are generally considered non-promutagenic due to their instability.
