Methods for modifying nucleic acids and their components with permanganate and with bisulfite are reviewed, with emphasis on work developed by the author's group of investigators. N (4) Aminocytidine, a nucleoside analog obtainable on bisulfite-hydrazine modification of cytidine, is a potent mutagen, and the mechanism of its action in the mutagenesis is discussed.
