Alkylation Definition:
Addition of carbon-containing groups to other molecules. Alkylation of DNA bases constitutes DNA damage that can lead to mutations..
Molecular Biology by Robert F. Weaver
Alkylation Notes:
Alkylation is basically the transfer of an alkyl group (carbon containing group) from one molecule to another. This alkyl group can be transferred as a free radical, an alkyl carbonation, a carbene or a carbanion. The alkylation of DNA bases can be responsible for DNA damage and mutations.
