Acetylation of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine by mammalian cells.

abstract：:Oxidative DNA damage can lead to cancer, and as enzymatic DNA repair systems become compromised during the aging process, the role of exogenous antioxidants becomes more critical. Here, we examined whether such non-enzymatic DNA repair can be effected by the common cellular antioxidant glutathione, investigating both ...
