Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions of the Carcinogen N -Hydroxy-2-fluorenylacetamide with Nucleic Acid

Authors:

Abstract
A protein fraction obtained by gel filtration of a 105,000g supernatant of rat liver catalyzes three reactions of the hepatocarcinogen N -hydroxy-2-fluorenylacetamide with nucleic acid. Cofactor requirements and isotopic studies suggest that the reactive intermediates involved may be N -2-fluorenylhydroxylamine, and phosphate and sulfate esters of N -hydroxy-2-fluorenylacetamide.
