Abstract

A Specific Oxidative Catastrophe: Three different classes of antibiotics induce bacterial cell death by the production of hydroxyl radicals. Hydroxyl radicals are powerful oxidizing agents in living cells and will oxidize the nucleic acid base, guanine, to form 8-oxoguanine, which is potentially mutagenic because it can pair with both cytosine and adenine and form lethal double-strand DNA breaks. Foti et al. (p. 315 ) discovered that overproduction of the nucleotide sanitizer MutT, which hydrolyzes 8-oxo-dGTP to 8-oxo-dGMP, gives striking protection against cell death.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
