MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

This book provides up-to-date coverage of selected topics in nucleic acid oxidation. The topics have been selected to cover everything from basic chemical mechanisms, repair of damage and the biological and pathological meaning of DNA oxidation. The chapters are authored by leading, research active, international experts in the respective topics.

Feature:

Provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the topic of nucleic acid oxidation from the perspectives of basic science and biological relevance

Contents:

Oxidatively Generated Damage to Cellular DNA: Mechanistic Aspects.- Chlorination and Nitration of DNA and Nucleic Acid Components.- Prevention of the Mutagenicity and Cytotoxicity of Oxidized Purine Nucleotides.- Nucleotide Incision Repair: An Alternative and Ubiquitous Pathway to Handle Oxidative DNA Damage.- OGG1: From Structural Analysis to the Knockout Mouse.- Processing of 3?-End Modified DNA Strand Breaks Induced by Oxidative Damage.- Oxidative Damage and Promoter Function.- Oxidative DNA Damage and Telomere Shortening.- Oxidative Damage and Repair in the Mitochondrial Genome.- The Role of Oxidative Damage to Nucleic Acids in the Pathogenesis of Neurological Disease.- Nucleic Acid Oxidation and the Pathogenesis of Cardiovascular Diseases.- Oxidative DNA Damage and Carcinogenesis.- The Physiological and Pathological Roles of Oxidative Damage to DNA in Relation to Life Stage.- Analysis of 8-Hydroxy-2?-Deoxyguanosine as a Marker of Oxidatively Damaged DNA in Relation to Carcinogenesis and Aging.- Oxidatively Damaged DNA and Inflammation.- The Role of Antioxidants in the Prevention of Oxidative Damage to Nucleic Acids.

MEET THE AUTHOR

Drs. Mark D. Evans and Marcus S. Cooke are academics at the University of Leicester, U.K. Collectively we have around 30-35 years of research experience in the field of free radical biochemistry, most of it in relation to damage to the genome. Mark did his Bachelor’s degree at Brunel University, Uxbridge, U.K., his PhD at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, USA and has worked his way through the ranks at The University of Leicester via several postdocs to become a tenured non-clinical lecturer in the Department of Cancer Studies and Molecular Medicine (CSMM). Marcus did his Bachelor’s degree at John Moore’s University, Liverpool and both his MSc and PhD at University of Leicester. Marcus also worked his way through the ranks to become a tenured non-clinical senior lecturer in CSMM, but also holds a joint appointment in the world renowned Department of Genetics at Leicester, home of DNA fingerprinting. 2003 saw Marcus receive the Young Scientist Prize from the European Environmental Mutagen Society for his work on DNA damage. Our pedigree demonstrates that we are in a prime position to evaluate the cutting edge of research in the field of DNA oxidation and, in acknowledgement of this, the world’s leaders in their respective fields agreed to contribute to the book.
