title: [Molecular mechanisms of 2-aminopurine and 2,6-diaminopurine induced mutations].
abstract: 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.
