A system in mouse liver for the repair of O6
... To a solution containing 3.1 mg of calf thymus DNA in 1.0 ml of 0.2 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 was added 144 u l of 1.0 mCi/ml [3H]-MNU in ethanol. This solution was incubated for 60 min at 37°C, and the DNA was precipitated by the addition of 0.1 vol of 2.5 M sodium acetate, and two volumes of cold ethanol ...
