title: Interaction of reactive oxygen species with DNA. A review.
abstract: Data on direct and indirect effects of reactive oxygen species on DNA are reviewed. The classification of the types of DNA oxidative damage and repair enzymes including glycosylases and endo- and exonucleases is presented. The regulatory function of reactive oxygen species and their role in carcinogenesis are discussed.
