General description

6-O-Methylguanine is a purine derivative and its binding affinity has been examined by B. subtilis xpt-pbuX guanine riboswitch (GR) using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). 6-O-Methylguanine is formed during the alkylation of a number of purified tRNA preparations, via reaction with the carcinogens, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea .

Since methylation at the N-7 and O(6) positions of guanine and the N-3 position of adenine in DNA are the predominant reaction sites, N(7)-methylguanine (N(7)-MeG), O(6)-methylguanine (O(6)-MeG), and N(3)-methyladenine (N(3)-MeA) have been suggested as good biomarkers for assessing exposure to
