We introduce a novel experimental strategy for DNA mutation detection named the Mismatch Identification DNA Analysis System (MIDAS) [1, 2], which has an associated isothermal probe amplification step to increase target DNA detection sensitivity to attomole levels. MIDAS exploits DNA
The aims of this study were to develop a stealth, pegylated liposomal formulation of 2'-deoxyinosine (d-Ino), a 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) modulator, to evaluate its efficacy in vitro and in tumor-bearing mice, and to study its pharmacokinetics in rats. After designing a
Deoxyinosine (dI) in DNA can arise from hydrolytic or nitrosative deamination of deoxyadenosine. It is excised in a repair pathway that is initiated by endonuclease V, the nfi gene product, in Escherichia coli. Repair was studied in vitro using M13mp18
Several studies examining DNA deamination have published levels of 2'-deoxyinosine that illustrated a large variation between studies. Most of them are the result of artifactual DNA deamination that occurs during the process of sample preparation, particularly acid hydrolysis. This protocol

Nitric oxide (NO) is a physiologically important molecule that has been implicated in the pathophysiology of diseases associated with chronic inflammation, such as cancer. While the complicated chemistry of NO-mediated genotoxicity has been extensively study in vitro, neither the spectrum
