Example sentences for: mutagenic
How can you use “mutagenic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Oxoguanine has become the benchmark for oxidative DNA modifications; it is arguably the most important mutagenic lesion in DNA (mispairing with adenine during chromosomal replications causes GC → TA transversions) [ 24 ] . It is suggested that untoward oxidative stresses to DNA prompt cell-cycle delay, antiapoptotic, and repair responses.
Recent advances, such as the application of mutagenic screens to study fin regeneration in zebrafish (Johnson and Weston 1995; Poss et al.
Most recently, the crystal structure of the polymerase in complex with a DNA promoter has revealed the structural basis for this specificity [ 1 2 ] . In addition, a number of researchers have examined the contribution of various nucleotides and functional groups in the promoter and various amino acids in the polymerase to specificity [ 3 4 5 ] . Based upon both structural and mutagenic analyses, it has proven possible to identify polymerase variants with altered specificities for promoters [ 6 7 ] . Polymerase variants with altered specificities have also been identified using genetic selections [ 8 ] . However, the variant polymerases and variant promoters that have so far been identified are close in sequence to the wild-type.
Since the process of transfection is often mutagenic, pSV110 was transfected into Vero cells, mock-infected and rescued into bacteria to determine background frequency of mutation from the experimental process.
Mutations can be introduced during replication by the viral proteins or also by the mutagenic processes of transfection and viral infection.
