We have determined the x-ray structure of a DNA fragment containing 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (G(O)). The structure of the duplex form of d(CCAGOCGCTGG) has been determined to 1.6-A resolution. The results demonstrate that GO forms Watson-Crick base pairs with the opposite C and that G(O) is in the anti conformation. Structural perturbations induced by C.G(O)anti base pairs are subtle. The structure allows us to identify probable elements by which the DNA repair protein MutM recognizes its substr ...[more]
