Cytosine residues in mammalian DNA occur in at least three forms, cytosine (C), 5-methylcytosine (M; 5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (H; 5hmC). During semi-conservative DNA replication, hemi-methylated (M/C) and hemi-hydroxymethylated (H/C) CpG dinucleotides are transiently generated, where only the parental strand is

The oxidation and deamination of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in DNA generates a base-pair between 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) and guanine. 5hmU normally forms a base-pair with adenine. Therefore, the conversion of 5mC to 5hmU is a potential pathway for the generation of 5mC

In order to eliminate the possibility that diet may influence urinary oxidative DNA lesion levels, in our experiments we used a recently developed technique involving HPLC pre-purification followed by gas chromatography with isotope dilution mass spectrometric detection. This methodology was

The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cells causes damage to biomolecules, including membrane lipids, DNA, proteins and sugars. An important type of oxidative damage is DNA base hydroxylation which leads to the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and 5-hydroxymethyluracil

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry, 20(13), 4088-4097 (2012-06-06)
Discovery of novel antimycobacterial compounds that work on distinctive targets and by diverse mechanisms of action is urgently required for the treatment of mycobacterial infections due to the emerging global health threat of tuberculosis. We have identified a new class
