Good+. Oversized hardcover, xi + 511 pages, NOT ex-library. Weight 1.2kg. Faint gentle age-discolourations on first/last pages. Else interior in great shape, clean, bright throughout, unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Tiny age-spots on the upper and lower page edges externally. Issued without a dust jacket. -- The book explores significant advances in understanding DNA damage and repair mechanisms, with a focus on oxygen radical effects, cellular protection strategies, and the biological consequences of DNA damage. It presents cutting-edge research on how oxygen radicals contribute to DNA damage and the subsequent cellular responses to counteract such damage. It discusses various repair mechanisms, including base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and the role of antioxidants in cellular defense. The biological consequences of DNA damage, such as mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and aging, are thoroughly examined. This book is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals in the fields of molecular biology, genetics, and biomedical sciences. -- Contents: Mapping Reactive Oxygen-Induced DNA Damage at Nucleotide Resolution; Application of Oxidative DNA Damage Measurements to Study Antioxidant Actions of Dietary Components; DNA Repair/Transcription in Premature Aging Syndromes; Excision Repair of 8-Oxoguanine in Eukaryotes: Ogg1 Proteins; Oxidative Base Damage to DNA: Recent Mechanistic Aspects, Measurement and Repair; Roles of AP Endonucleases in Repair and Genetic Stability; Mechanisms of Oxidative DNA Damage.
