SENESCENCE/
APOPTOSIS
CANCER
Source of Damage
Endogenous: Replication Errors Reactive Oxygen Species
Exogenous: UV radiation, IR.. Mutagenic chemicals
Type of Damage- Endogenous
Oxidation of bases Methylation of bases Hydrolysis of bases Mismatch of bases
Damage mostly on DNA bases, causing point mutations:
Type of Damage- Exogenous
UV light- pyrimidine dimers IR- Breaks in DNA strands Chemicals (found in smoke, soot and tar)-
diversity of DNA damages including crosslinking of DNA.
Damage mostly on helix structure:
