In the regular physiological conditions, cytosine residue of eucaryotic DNA is methylated to be popular. Up to the present, many people consider that the m5C may be mutation hotspots by the m5C deamination leading to gene mutation. Our theoretical investigations indicated that the spontaneous mutation caused by the transition of G - C-A - T, in eukaryotic DNA, may be a result caused by the tautomer changing base pairs and may also be caused by other factor actions, however it could not be caused by the deamination of m5C.展开更多
