V I Poltev, and N V Shuliupina, and V I Bruskov

Molecular mechanisms of base pair substitutions induced by 2-aminopurine and 2,6-diaminopurine have been proposed by calculations of nonbonded interaction energy of this substances with nucleic acid bases. The calculation results suppose that the main pathways of the transitions are wobble pair formations of these analogues with cytosine. The possibility of the transversions as a result of incorporation of 2-aminopurine and 2,6-diaminopurine in DNA have been considered. The influence of nucleotide sequences and enzymes of nucleic acid synthesis on induced mutation frequencies have been discussed.

D009154	Mutation	Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.	Mutations
D004247	DNA	A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D013329	Structure-Activity Relationship	The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
