title: Base-pairing models to account for the mutagenicity and specificity of the purine analog 2-amino-N6-hydroxyadenine.
abstract: Potential base-pairing mechanisms of the purine analog, 2-amino-N6-hydroxyadenine (AHA), with the natural bases of DNA are presented. Base-pairing properties of this analog indicate that AHA may induce transitions and transversions of base pairs in DNA.
