Spontaneous depurination of dna


Spontaneous depurination of the DNA happens at the rate of approximately 3 X 10–9 depurinations per purine per minute, most of which are repaired. The genome size of the diploid human cell is approximately 6 X 109 base pairs. Approximately how many spontaneous depurinations should be repaired for each day in each cell in your body? How many total depurinations in your body each day?
