Intercalating agents, such as proflavin, acridine, and ethidium, cause the deletion or addition of a base pair or even a few base pairs.

Intercalating agents are flat molecules containing several polycyclic rings that bind to the equally flat purine or pyrimidine bases of DNA, just as the bases bind or stack with each other in the double helix
