Abstract
N-hydroxylaminopurines are highly mutagenic for growing as well as resting Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 and to a lesser extent for strain TA98. Aminopurines, under similar conditions, are not mutagenic. N-methylhydroxylaminopurine, under similar conditions, exhibits only minimal activity. The results are taken to indicate that unlike non-hydroxylated aminopurines, N-hydroxylaminopurines exert their mutagenicity not by acting as base analogs but by direct covalent binding with DNA-guanine.
