| Description: Thus, alkylation of a DNA-guanine stimulates a GC AT transition. Repair of this type of damage involves an unusual enzyme, O6-alkylguanine alkyltransferase, which transfers a methyl or ethyl group from an O6–methylguanine or O6-ethylguanine residue to a cysteine residue in the active site of the protein. Having become alkylated, it cannot remove the alkyl group, and the protein molecule turns over.
