Mutagenic factors of biological origin by the example of carbohydrate-binding proteins are observed. An attempt of summarizing the existing data concerning participation of exogenous macromolecules in mutagenic process is made. The mechanisms of the influence of exogenous macromolecules on mutagenesis, proliferation, and surviving of mammalian cells are discussed.
