8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) is a pre-mutagenic DNA lesion that is formed by the oxidation of guanine. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) that is primarily responsible for the damage of guanine is produced as a result of several endogenous processes or environmental agents. ROS can cause damage to cellular macromolecules like proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. Proteins, proteins, lipids and RNA having oxidative damage are generally degraded and recycled, whereas DNA lesions like 8-oxoG need to be repaired to maintain genom...
