Description for DNA Replication - Damage from Environmental Carcinogens
Paperback. Series: SpringerBriefs in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Num Pages: 54 pages, 3 black & white illustrations, 1 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MMG; PSB; PSF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 3. Weight in Grams: 128.
This book reviews the main concepts concerning DNA damage due to environmental carcinogens, the effects of DNA damage on DNA replication using a single DNA polymerase or DNA replisome, and the effects of carcinogens on various cell activities. It also introduces the detailed protocols for bypassing DNA damage. As we know, various environmental carcinogens are produced as a result of industry, agriculture, chemical engineering and vehicle exhaust in our daily life. It has been reported that the environmental carcinogens can be connected to tumors and cancer, directly threatening human health. In this regard, DNA replication is highly susceptible to damage. ...

Reviews for DNA Replication - Damage from Environmental Carcinogens
“It is focused on how environmental carcinogens affect DNA replication because it is well-known that correct DNA replication is the first crucial factor for the integrity of genetic information. … The book is an interesting and enriching contribution which can help to understand the impact of environmental carcinogens on living organism.” (Darina Slamenova, Neoplasma, Vol. 63 (2), 2016)
