Novel synthesis of O(6)-alkylguanine containing oligodeoxyribonucleotides as substrates for the human DNA repair protein, O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT)

The human DNA repair protein O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) dealkylates mutagenic O(6)-alkylguanine lesions within DNA in an irreversible reaction which results in inactivation of the protein. MGMT also provides resistance of tumours to alkylating agents used in cancer chemotherapy...
