Abstract
Data on direct and indirect effects of reactive oxygen species on DNA are reviewed. The classification of the types of DNA oxidative damage and repair enzymes including glycosylases and endo-and exonucleases is presented. The regulatory function of reactive oxygen species and the ir role in carcinogenesis are discussed.
