Depurination — In molecular genetics, depurination is an alteration of DNA in which the purine base (adenine or guanine) is removed from the deoxyribose sugar by hydrolysis of the beta N glycosidic link between them. After depurination, an apurinic site is… … Wikipedia
Dépurination et dépyrimidination — Lors de la dépurination (et de la dépyrimidination), le lien se rompt entre une base et le squelette du brin d ADN, ce qui libère la base et laisse une anomalie (un site vacant) appelé site AP. La dépurination est une altération de l ADN où se… … Wikipédia en Français
depurination — The process of partial DNA hydrolysis by acid at purine (adenine and guanine) sites, resulting in the cleavage of large DNA fragments into smaller pieces. This process improves Southern transfer … Forensic science glossary
Mutagenesis — (pronounced /mjuːtəˈdʒɛnɪsɪs/) is a process by which the genetic information of an organism is changed in a stable manner, resulting in a mutation. It may occur spontaneously in nature, or as a result of exposure to mutagens. It can also be… … Wikipedia
