20. 3H]methylthiodeoxy-guanosine was estimated with the assumption that the specific radioactivity of the SAM pool would be the same as that of the methionine in the medium.

At intervals, samples were removed and the repaired demethylated DNA was separated from the substrate DNA by chromatography on MonoQ (11). The amount of repaired and remaining unrepaired DNA was determined by scintillation counting.
22. 32P]-labeled DNA were found by autoradiography and the corresponding bands were excised and quantified by scintillation counting.

24. 32P]AGCTTGGCTG-CAGGGXGACGGATCCCCGGGAATT, where the nucleotide at X was either G-base-paired to T in the other strand or meSG-base-paired to T, was added to a final concentration of 0.5 nM together with a 40-fold excess of nonradioactive oligomer containing a G-C, G-T, meSG-C, or meSG-T base pair at position X. The incubation continued at room temperature for 20 min. Samples were then loaded directly onto a 6% polyacrylamide nondenaturing gel for electrophoresis (at 1O°C at 8 V/cm for 2 hours). The gel was dried and then autoradio-graphed.
