*UV-induced damage* *Ultraviolet radiation (UV radiation) is a common cause of DNA damage.* *-- UV results in the formation of a ____________ ring between adjacent two _____________ rings.* *-- This is especially common for pairs of ___________ forming a __________-dimer. (also called cyclobutane)* *What does the presence of the cyclobutane ring do the the DNA helix?* *This distortion to the helix is the major damage to the DNA and is the cause of skin cancer.* One to guess is that this is going to be on the exam.
*-- UV results in the formation of a ____________ ring between adjacent two _____________ rings.* cyclobutane pyrimidine *-- This is especially common for pairs of ___________ forming a __________-dimer.* thymine thymine *What does the presence of the cyclobutane ring do the the DNA helix?* The cyclobutane ring "kinks" the axis of the DNA helix.

Cytosine → uracil c. Adenine → hypoxanthine d. Guanine → xanthine e. Guanine → 8-oxoguanine
*-Here we can break water into __________ and ___________ ions.* hydronium and hydroxide *The ____________ wavelength (ie highest energy) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum possesses sufficient energy to ionize water, and can cause DNA damage.* shortest *Which of the deamination reactions in DNA bases would be considered the most detrimental to eukaryotes?* a. 5-methylcytosine → thymine This question requires some critical thinking. Out of the five bases, only uracil is not found in DNA. This allows base excision repair (BER) to easily recognize this mismatch and excise the cytosine to uracil deamination. However, when a 5-met-cytosine deaminates into thymine and the DNA undergoes synthesis, it'll create two double-stranded DNA strands, one with the normal C-G base pairing but the other daughter strand will contain the mutated A-T base pairing, which is near impossible to recognize by DNA repair mechanism because it's a normal base-pair that will possibly result in a completely different polypeptide.
*Alkylators: alkylate DNA. The addition of carbon base moieties on the DNA.* *Two broad buckets:* *1.

None of the above From Lecture 39, Dr. Brown only mentioned depurination and base excision repair as creating abasic (AP) site, which are sites in the DNA without either a purine or pyrimidine base. Depurination is specific to creating AP sites without a purine (guanine or adenine). Base excision repair is not specific to either purines or pyrimidines, but because it's not an option, E is the correct answer.
