The mechanism of decomposition of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) in water and a study of its reactions with 2'-deoxyguanosine, 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate and d(GTGCAC)
The carcinogenicity of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) arises, from its ability to methylate DNA, This occurs in an aqueous environment and therefore an appreciation of the mode of decomposition of MNU in water is essential to understanding the mechanism of DNA methylation and its base sequence depende...
