3LZI, 3LZJ - PubMed Abstract: 
Accurate copying of the genome by DNA polymerases is challenging due in part to the continuous damage inflicted on DNA, which results from its contact with reactive oxygen species (ROS), producing lesions such as 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). The deleterious effects of 8-oxoG can be attributed to its dual coding potential that leads to G --> T transversions ...
