Biochemical analysis of damage induced in yeast by formaldehyde. II. Induction of cross-links between DNA and protein

Mutat Res. 1978 Jul;51(1):11-9. doi: 10.1016/0027-5107(78)90003-9.

Abstract

Exposure of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to formaldehyde-induced cross-links between DNA and proteins. This damage was demonstrated by three different techniques. Ultraviolet irradiation also produced cross-links between DNA and proteins in yeast.
