Further phenotypic characterization of pso mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with respect to DNA repair and response to oxidative stress.

Genet. Mol. Res. 1(1) , 79-89, (2002)

The sensitivity responses of seven pso mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae towards the mutagens N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), 1,2:7,8-diepoxyoctane (DEO), and 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ) further substantiated their allocation into two distinct groups: genes PSO1...

Discrimination between genotoxicity and cytotoxicity for the induction of DNA double-strand breaks in cells treated with aldehydes and diepoxides.

Mutat. Res. 441(1) , 85-93, (1999)

The time-dependent dose-response relationships for the induction of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) assessed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and for viability (evaluated by the MTT cytotoxicity test) were investigated in order to discriminate betwee...

1,2,5,6-Diepoxyhexane and 1,2,7,8-diepoxyoctane cross-link duplex DNA at 5'-GNC sequences.

Chem. Res. Toxicol. 9(6) , 994-1000, (1996)

The carcinogenicity of epoxide compounds has been attributed to covalent binding to DNA. Whereas monoepoxides form only monoadducts, diepoxides can form both monoadducts and interstrand cross-links. The latter are believed to be the more significant cytotoxic...

Deletogenic activity of 1,2:7,8-diepoxyoctane in the Salmonella typhimurium tester strain TA102.

Mutat. Res. 437 , 165-173, (1999)

1,2:7,8-Diepoxyoctane (DEO), whose deletogenic activity was first demonstrated in ad-3 system of Neurospora crassa and then in different species, has been tested in Salmonella typhimurium tester strain TA102 (hisG428(Ochre)). It was confirmed that it is a dir...

Chemically synthesized non-radioactive biotinylated long-chain nucleic acid hybridization probes.

Biochem. J. 251(3) , 935-8, (1988)

A new method for the chemical labelling of nucleic acid with biotin to produce non-radioactive probes has been developed. NN'-Bis-(3-aminopropyl)butane-1,4-diamine (spermine) and long-chain diamino compounds (diaminohexane, diaminodecane and diaminododecane) ...

Novel insertion mutation in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Mol. Cell. Biol. 5(1) , 1-6, (1985)

The mutation e1662 is an allele of the Caenorhabditis elegans unc-54 gene induced with the difunctional alkylating agent 1,2,7,8-diepoxyoctane. unc-54 encodes the major myosin heavy chain isozyme of body wall muscle cells. Filter-transfer hybridization and DN...

Diepoxybutane and diepoxyoctane interstrand cross-linking of the 5S DNA nucleosomal core particle.

Biochemistry 40(35) , 10677-85, (2001)

Diepoxyalkanes form interstrand cross-links in DNA oligomers preferentially at 5'-GNC sites. We have examined cross-linking by 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (DEB) and 1,2,7,8-diepoxyoctane (DEO) within a fragment of the 5S RNA gene of Xenopus borealis in both the fre...

Synthesis and characterization of a novel hyaluronic acid hydrogel.

J. Biomater. Sci. Polym. Ed. 17(4) , 419-33, (2006)

Hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan, HA) has many medical applications as a biomaterial. To enhance its biostability, a novel hydrogel of cross-linked hyaluronic acid was prepared using a double cross-linking process, which involves building cross-linkages between hy...
