Abstract
In this work, we used ωB97XD density functional and 6-31++G** basis set to study the structure, electron affinity, populations via Boltzmann distribution, and one-electron reduction potentials (E°) of 2′-deoxyribose sugar radicals in aqueous phase by considering 2′-deoxyguanosine and 2′-deoxythymidine as a model of DNA. The calculation predicted the relative stability of sugar radicals in the order C4′• > C1′• > C5′• > C3′• > C2′•. The Boltzmann distribution populations based on the relative stability of the sugar radicals were not those found for ionizing radiation or OH-radical attack and are good evidence the kinetic mechanisms of the processes drive the products formed. The adiabatic electron affinities of these sugar radicals were in the range 2.6–3.3 eV which is higher than the canonical DNA bases. The sugar radicals reduction potentials (E°) without protonation (−1.8 to −1.2 V) were also significantly higher than the bases. Thus the sugar radicals will be far more readily reduced by solvated electrons than the DNA bases. In the aqueous phase, these one-electron reduced sugar radicals (anions) are protonated from solvent and thus are efficiently repaired via the “electron-induced proton transfer mechanism”. The calculation shows that, in comparison to efficient repair of sugar radicals by the electron-induced proton transfer mechanism, the repair of the cyclopurine lesion, 5′,8-cyclo-2′-dG, would involve a substantial barrier.

Abstract
DNA lesions and the repair mechanisms that maintain the integrity of genomic DNA are important in preventing carcinogenesis and its progression. Notably, mutations in DNA repair mechanisms are associated with cancer predisposition syndromes. Additionally, these mechanisms maintain the genomic integrity of cancer cells. The majority of therapies established to treat cancer are genotoxic agents that induce DNA damage, promoting cancer cells to undergo apoptotic death. Effective methods currently exist to evaluate the diverse effects of genotoxic agents and the underlying molecular mechanisms that repair DNA lesions. The current study provides an overview of a number of methods that are available for the detection, analysis and quantification of underlying DNA repair mechanisms.

Abstract
Free radicals generate an array of DNA lesions affecting all parts of the molecule. The damage to deoxyribose receives less attention than base damage, even though the former accounts for ∼20% of the total. Oxidative deoxyribose fragments (e.g., 3'-phosphoglycolate esters) are removed by the Ape1 AP endonuclease and other enzymes in mammalian cells to enable DNA repair synthesis. Oxidized abasic sites are initially incised by Ape1, thus recruiting these lesions into base excision repair (BER) pathways. Lesions such as 2-deoxypentos-4-ulose can be removed by conventional (single-nucleotide) BER, which proceeds through a covalent Schiff base intermediate with DNA polymerase β (Polβ) that is resolved by hydrolysis. In contrast, the lesion 2-deoxyribonolactone (dL) must be processed by multinucleotide ("long-patch") BER: attempted repair via the single-nucleotide pathway leads to a dead-end, covalent complex with Polβ cross- linked to the DNA by an amide bond. We recently detected these stable DNA-protein crosslinks (DPC) between Polβ and dL in intact cells. The features of the DPC formation in vivo are exactly in keeping with the mechanistic properties seen in vitro: Polβ-DPC are formed by oxidative agents in line with their ability to form the dL lesion; they are not formed by non-oxidative agents; DPC formation absolutely requires the active-site lysine-72 that attacks the 5'-deoxyribose; and DPC formation depends on Ape1 to incise the dL lesion first. The Polβ-DPC are rapidly processed in vivo, the signal disappearing with a half-life of 15-30min in both mouse and human cells. This removal is blocked by inhibiting the proteasome, which leads to the accumulation of ubiquitin associated with the Polβ-DPC. While other proteins (e.g., topoisomerases) also form DPC under these conditions, 60-70% of the trapped ubiquitin depends on Polβ. The mechanism of ubiquitin targeting to Polβ-DPC, the subsequent processing of the expected 5'-peptidyl-dL, and the biological consequences of unrepaired DPC are important to assess. Many other lyase enzymes that attack dL can also be trapped in DPC, so the processing mechanisms may apply quite broadly.

Abstract
Nucleobase radicals are major products of the reactions between nucleic acids and hydroxyl radical, which is produced via the indirect effect of ionizing radiation. The nucleobase radicals also result from hydration of cation radicals that are produced via the direct effect of ionizing radiation. The role that nucleobase radicals play in strand scission has been investigated indirectly using ionizing radiation to generate them. More recently, the reactivity of nucleobase radicals resulting from formal hydrogen atom or hydroxyl radical addition to pyrimidines has been studied by independently generating the reactive intermediates via UV-photolysis of synthetic precursors. This approach has provided control over where the reactive intermediates are produced within biopolymers and facilitated studying their reactivity. The contributions to our understanding of pyrimidine nucleobase radical reactivity by this approach are summarized.

Abstract
Nucleic acid oxidation plays a vital role in the etiology and treatment of diseases, as well as aging. Reagents that oxidize nucleic acids are also useful probes of the biopolymers' structure and folding. Radiation scientists have contributed greatly to our understanding of nucleic acid oxidation using a variety of techniques. During the past two decades organic chemists have applied the tools of synthetic and mechanistic chemistry to independently generate and study the reactive intermediates produced by ionizing radiation and other nucleic acid damaging agents. This approach has facilitated resolving mechanistic controversies and lead to the discovery of new reactive processes.

Abstract
![]()
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine
(8-oxodGuo) is a commonly
formed DNA lesion that is useful as a biomarker for oxidative stress.
Although methods for selective quantification of 8-oxodGuo exist,
there is room for additional methods that are sensitive and utilize
instrumentation that is widely available. We previously took advantage
of the reported reactivity of 8-oxodGuo to develop a method for detecting
the lesion by selectively covalently tagging it with a molecule equipped
with a biotin label that can be used subsequently with a reporting
method (XueL., and GreenbergM. M. (2007) J. Am. Chem. Soc.129, 701017497789). We now report a method that can
detect as little as 14 amol of 8-oxodGuo by tagging DNA with a reagent
containing a disulfide that reduces background due to nonspecific
binding. The reagent also contains biotin that enables capturing target
DNA on streptavidin-coated magnetic beads. The captured DNA is quantified
using quantitative PCR. The method is validated by comparing the amount
of 8-oxodGuo detected as a function of Fe2+/H2O2/ascorbate-dose to that reported previously using mass
spectrometry.

Abstract
It is important that various lesions in DNA were detected selectively and conveniently to know mechanisms of carcinogenicity and/or aging of cells. However, most detection methods of DNA lesion are complicated and take a long time for enzymatic hydrolysis and analysis by HPLC and/or mass spectrometry. This review shows the new concept for detection of DNA lesion by "fluorogenic reagent". Inspired by the unique bis-heteroaryl structure of luciferin and 5-heteroaryl-2'-deoxyuridine having good fluorescence properties, we designed and synthesized fluorogenic reagent 4,5-dimethoxy-2-aminothiophenol for a selective and convenient detection for 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine, which is generated in yields comparable to that of 2'-deoxy-8-oxoguanosine, in DNA. Generated 5-(5,6-dimethoxybenzothiazol-2-yl)-2'-deoxyuridine has a high quantum yield and larger Stokes shift in aqueous solution. This derivatization of 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine in oligodeoxynucleotide occurred quickly and quantitatively. The fluorogenic reagent was also revealed to detect 5-formyl-2'-deoxyuridine in γ-irradiated calf thymus DNA with irradiation dose dependent manner. Thus, our fluorogenic strategy enables to selective and convenient detection of lesion in DNA exposed to various forms of oxidative stress.

Abstract
The 2'-deoxynucleoside containing the synthetic base 1-[(2R,4S,5R)-4-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)-1H-perimidin-2(3H)-one] (dPer) recognizes in DNA the O(6)-benzyl-2'-deoxyguanosine nucleoside (O(6)-Bn-dG), formed by exposure to N-benzylmethylnitrosamine. Herein, we show how dPer distinguishes between O(6)-Bn-dG and dG in DNA. The structure of the modified Dickerson-Drew dodecamer (DDD) in which guanine at position G(4) has been replaced by O(6)-Bn-dG and cytosine C(9) has been replaced with dPer to form the modified O(6)-Bn-dG:dPer (DDD-XY) duplex [5'-d(C(1)G(2)C(3)X(4)A(5)A(6)T(7)T(8)Y(9)G(10)C(11)G(12))-3']2 (X = O(6)-Bn-dG, Y = dPer) reveals that dPer intercalates into the duplex and adopts the syn conformation about the glycosyl bond. This provides a binding pocket that allows the benzyl group of O(6)-Bn-dG to intercalate between Per and thymine of the 3'-neighbor A:T base pair. Nuclear magnetic resonance data suggest that a similar intercalative recognition mechanism applies in this sequence in solution. However, in solution, the benzyl ring of O(6)-Bn-dG undergoes rotation on the nuclear magnetic resonance time scale. In contrast, the structure of the modified DDD in which cytosine at position C(9) is replaced with dPer to form the dG:dPer (DDD-GY) [5'-d(C(1)G(2)C(3)G(4)A(5)A(6)T(7)T(8)Y(9)G(10)C(11)G(12))-3']2 duplex (Y = dPer) reveals that dPer adopts the anti conformation about the glycosyl bond and forms a less stable wobble pairing interaction with guanine.

Abstract
The synthesis and site-specific incorporation of an environment-sensitive fluorescent nucleoside analogue (2), based on a 5-(benzofuran-2-yl)pyrimidine core, into DNA oligonucleotides (ONs), and its photophysical properties within these ONs are described. Interestingly and unlike 2-aminopurine (a widely used nucleoside analogue probe), when incorporated into an ON and hybridised with a complementary ON, the emissive nucleoside 2 displays significantly higher emission intensity than the free nucleoside. Furthermore, photophysical characterisation shows that the fluorescence properties of the nucleoside analogue within ONs are significantly influenced by flanking bases, especially by guanosine. By utilising the responsiveness of the nucleoside to changes in base environment, a DNA ON reporter labelled with the emissive nucleoside 2 was constructed; this signalled the presence of an abasic site in a model depurinated sarcin/ricin RNA motif of a eukaryotic 28S rRNA.

Abstract
One electron oxidation of neutral sugar radicals has recently been suggested to lead to important intermediates in the DNA damage process culminating in DNA strand breaks. In this work, we investigate sugar radicals in a DNA model system to understand the energetics of sugar radical formation and oxidation. The geometries of neutral sugar radicals C(1')(•), C(2')(•), C(3')(•), C(4')(•), and C(5')(•) of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) and 2'-deoxythymidine (dT) were optimized in the gas phase and in solution using the B3LYP and ωB97x functionals and 6-31++G(d) basis set. Their corresponding cations (C(1')(+), C(2')(+), C(3')(+), C(4')(+), and C(5')(+)) were generated by removing an electron (one-electron oxidation) from the neutral sugar radicals, and their geometries were also optimized using the same methods and basis set. The calculation predicts the relative stabilities of the neutral sugar radicals in the order C(1')(•) > C(4')(•) > C(5')(•) > C(3')(•) > C(2')(•), respectively. Of the neutral sugar radicals, C(1')(•) has the lowest vertical ionization potential (IP(vert)), ca. 6.33 eV in the gas phase and 4.71 eV in solution. C(2')(•) has the highest IP(vert), ca. 8.02 eV, in the gas phase, and the resultant C(2') cation is predicted to undergo a barrierless hydride transfer from the C(1') site to produce the C(1') cation. One electron oxidation of C(2')(•) in dG is predicted to result in a low lying triplet state consisting of G(+•) and C(2')(•). The 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosin-7-yl radical formed by intramolecular bonding between C(5')(•) and C(8) of guanine transfers spin density from C(5') site to guanine, and this structure has IP(vert) 6.25 and 5.48 eV in the gas phase and in solution.

Abstract
C1027 is a potent antitumor agent that damages DNA. It has the unusual ability to produce double strand breaks and interstrand cross-links (ICLs) intracellularly, which enable it to initiate concurrent ataxia-telangiestasia mutated (ATM) and Rad-3 related (ATR) independent damage responses. The latter form of damage is not well characterized. We have examined the effect of DNA sequence on C1027 reactivity and found it to be more diverse than previously thought. In addition, analysis of the chemical stability of ICLs suggests that they result from reaction with the deoxyribose ring on one strand but direct addition to a nucleobase on the opposite strand.

Abstract
Oxidized abasic sites such as 2-deoxyribonolactone (L) are produced in DNA by a variety of oxidizing agents, including potent cytotoxic antitumor natural products. 2-Deoxyribonolactone is labile under alkaline conditions, but its half-life in free DNA at pH 7.5 is approximately 1 week. Independent generation of L at defined positions within nucleosomes reveals that the histone proteins catalyze strand scission and increase the rate between 11- and ∼43-fold. Mechanistic studies indicate that DNA-protein cross-links are not intermediates en route to strand scission and that C2 deprotonation is the rate-determining step. The use of mutant histone H4 proteins demonstrates that the lysine-rich tail that is often post-translationally modified in cells contributes to the cleavage of L but is not the sole source of the enhanced cleavage rates. Consideration of DNA repair in cells suggests that L formation in nucleosomal DNA as part of bistranded lesions by antitumor antibiotics results in de facto double strand breaks, the most deleterious form of DNA damage.

Abstract
Base-modified fluorescent ribonucleoside-analogue probes are valuable tools in monitoring RNA structure and function because they closely resemble the structure of natural nucleobases. Especially, 2-aminopurine, a highly environment-sensitive adenosine analogue, is the most extensively utilized fluorescent nucleoside analogue. However, only a few isosteric pyrimidine ribonucleoside analogues that are suitable for probing the structure and recognition properties of RNA molecules are available. Herein, we describe the synthesis and photophysical characterization of a small series of base-modified pyrimidine ribonucleoside analogues derived from tagging indole, N-methylindole, and benzofuran onto the 5-position of uracil. One of the analogues, based on a 5-(benzofuran-2-yl)pyrimidine core, shows emission in the visible region with a reasonable quantum yield and, importantly, displays excellent solvatochromism. The corresponding triphosphate substrate is effectively incorporated into oligoribonucleotides by T7 RNA polymerase to produce fluorescent oligoribonucleotide constructs. Steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic studies with fluorescent oligoribonucleotide constructs demonstrate that the fluorescent ribonucleoside photophysically responds to subtle changes in its environment brought about by the interaction of the chromophore with neighboring bases. In particular, the emissive ribonucleoside, if incorporated into an oligoribonucleotide, positively reports the presence of a DNA abasic site with an appreciable enhancement in fluorescence intensity. The straightforward synthesis, amicability to enzymatic incorporation, and sensitivity to changes in the microenvironment highlight the potential of the benzofuran-conjugated pyrimidine ribonucleoside as an efficient fluorescent probe to investigate nucleic acid structure, dynamics, and recognition events.

Abstract
This study reports the effects of denaturation and deoxygenation on radiation-induced formation of 2-deoxyribonolactone (2-dL) and 5'-aldehyde (5'-Ald) lesions in highly polymerized DNA. The radiation-chemical yields of 2-dL were determined through quantification of its dephosphorylation product 5-methylenefuranone (5MF). The formation of 5'-Ald was monitored qualitatively through the release of furfural (Fur) under the same conditions. The yields of 2-dL were found to be 7.3 ± 0.3 nmol J(-1), or about 18% of the yield of free base release measured in the same samples. Denaturation increased the efficiency of 2-dL formation approximately twofold while deoxygenation resulted in a fourfold decrease. The release of Fur is about twofold lower than that of 5MF in aerated native DNA samples and is further reduced by denaturation of the DNA. Unlike 5MF, the formation of Fur requires the presence of molecular oxygen, which is consistent with peroxyl radical-mediated oxidation of C5' radicals into 5'-Ald. In contrast, the existence of an oxygen-independent pathway of 2-dL formation suggests that C1' sugar radicals can also be oxidized by radiation-produced oxidizing intermediates such as electron-loss centers on guanines.

Abstract
The oxidation of 2-deoxyribose in DNA has emerged as a critical determinant of the cellular toxicity of oxidative damage to DNA, with oxidation of each carbon producing a unique spectrum of electrophilic products. We have developed and validated an isotope-dilution gas chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for the rigorous quantification of two major 2-deoxyribose oxidation products: the 2-deoxyribonolactone abasic site of 1'-oxidation and the nucleoside 5'-aldehyde of 5'-oxidation chemistry. The method entails elimination of these products as 5-methylene-2(5H)-furanone (5MF) and furfural, respectively, followed by derivatization with pentafluorophenylhydrazine (PFPH), addition of isotopically labeled PFPH derivatives as internal standards, extraction of the derivatives, and quantification by GC-MS analysis. The precision and accuracy of the method were validated with oligodeoxynucleotides containing the 2-deoxyribonolactone and nucleoside 5'-aldehyde lesions. Further, the well-defined 2-deoxyribose oxidation chemistry of the enediyne antibiotics, neocarzinostatin and calicheamicin gamma(1)(I), was exploited in control studies, with neocarzinostatin producing 10 2-deoxyribonolactone and 300 nucleoside 5'-aldehyde per 10(6) nt per microM in accord with its established minor 1'- and major 5'-oxidation chemistry. Calicheamicin unexpectedly caused 1'-oxidation at a low level of 10 2-deoxyribonolactone per 10(6) nt per microM in addition to the expected predominance of 5'-oxidation at 560 nucleoside 5'-aldehyde per 10(6) nt per microM. The two hydroxyl radical-mediated DNA oxidants, gamma-radiation and Fe(2+)-EDTA, produced nucleoside 5'-aldehyde at a frequency of 57 per 10(6) nt per Gy (G-value 74 nmol/J) and 3.5 per 10(6) nt per microM, respectively, which amounted to 40% and 35%, respectively, of total 2-deoxyribose oxidation as measured by a plasmid nicking assay. However, gamma-radiation and Fe(2+)-EDTA produced different proportions of 2-deoxyribonolactone at 7% and 24% of total 2-deoxyribose oxidation, respectively, with frequencies of 10 lesions per 10(6) nt per Gy (G-value, 13 nmol/J) and 2.4 lesions per 10(6) nt per microM. Studies in TK6 human lymphoblastoid cells, in which the analytical data were corrected for losses sustained during DNA isolation, revealed background levels of 2-deoxyribonolactone and nucleoside 5'-aldehyde of 9.7 and 73 lesions per 10(6) nt, respectively. Gamma-irradiation of the cells caused increases of 0.045 and 0.22 lesions per 10(6) nt per Gy, respectively, which represents a approximately 250-fold quenching effect of the cellular environment similar to that observed in previous studies. The proportions of the various 2-deoxyribose oxidation products generated by gamma-radiation are similar for purified DNA and cells. These results are consistent with solvent exposure as a major determinant of hydroxyl radical reactivity with 2-deoxyribose in DNA, but the large differences between gamma-radiation and Fe(2+)-EDTA suggest that factors other than hydroxyl radical reactivity govern DNA oxidation chemistry.

Abstract
Abasic sites (AP sites) arise from hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds of DNA that is damaged by various external and internal processes; unrepaired AP sites give rise to genetic mutations. We have constructed highly reactive AP-site-detecting probes by introducing a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic residue in an aminooxy group. Synthesized probes containing either a naphthalene or a guanidine residue conjugate effectively with AP sites. In particular, a probe containing both functional groups shows the highest reaction rate, indicating that the hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions act cooperatively in reaction with AP sites. The guanidine residue also contributes to the solubility of the molecules in aqueous media. The biotinylated probes provide much more sensitive detection of AP sites in genomic DNA than the conventional aldehyde-reactive probe.

Abstract
The C4'-oxidized abasic site (C4-AP) is a commonly formed DNA lesion, which generates two types of interstrand cross-links (ICLs). The kinetically favored cross-link consists of two full length strands and forms reversibly and exclusively with dA. Cross-link formation is attributed to condensation of C4-AP with the N6-amino group of dA. Formation of the thermodynamic ICL involves cleavage of the strand containing C4-AP on the 3'-side of the lesion. The ratios and yields of the ICLs are highly dependent upon the local sequence. Product analysis of enzyme-digested material reveals that the ICL with dA is a cyclic adduct. Formation of the thermodynamically favored cross-link is catalyzed by the surrounding DNA sequence and occurs favorably with dC and dA but not with dG or dT. Mechanistic studies indicate that beta-elimination from C4-AP is the rate-limiting step in the formation of the thermodynamic ICL and that the local DNA environment determines the rate constant for this reaction. The efficiency of ICL formation, the stability of the thermodynamic products, and their possible formation in cells (Regelus, P.; et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2007, 104, 14032) suggest that these lesions will be deleterious to the biological system in which they are produced.

Abstract
DNA sustains a wide variety of damage, such as the formation of abasic sites, pyrimidine dimers, alkylation adducts, or oxidative lesions, upon exposure to UV radiation, alkylating agents, or oxidative conditions. Since these forms of damage may be acutely toxic or mutagenic and potentially carcinogenic, it is of interest to gain insight into how their structures impact biochemical processing of DNA, such as synthesis, transcription, and repair. Lesion-specific molecular probes have been used to study polymerase-mediated translesion DNA synthesis of abasic sites and TT dimers, while other probes have been developed for specifically investigating the alkylation adduct O(6)-Bn-G and the oxidative lesion 8-oxo-G. In this review, recent examples of lesion-specific molecular probes are surveyed; their specificities of incorporation opposite target lesions compared to unmodified nucleotides are discussed, and limitations of their applications under physiologically relevant conditions are assessed.

Abstract
DNA oxidation plays a substantive role in the pathophysiology of human diseases, such as cancer. While the chemistry of nucleobase lesions has dominated studies of DNA damage, there is growing evidence that the oxidation of 2-deoxyribose in DNA plays a critical role in the genetic toxicology of oxidative stress. As part of an effort to define the spectrum of 2-deoxyribose oxidation products arising in vitro and in vivo, we now describe methods for quantifying products arising from 4' oxidation of 2-deoxyribose in DNA. The chemistry of 4' oxidation partitions between either of two pathways to form either a 2-deoxypentos-4-ulose abasic site (oxAB) or a strand break comprised of a 3'-phosphoglycolate (3PG) residue and a 5'-phosphate, with the release of either malondialdehyde and free base or a base propenal. Highly sensitive gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) methods were developed to quantify both lesions. The abasic site was converted to a 3'-phosphoro-3-pyridazinylmethylate derivative by treatment of the damaged DNA with hydrazine, which was released from DNA as 3-hydroxymethylpyridazine (HMP) by enzymatic hydrolysis. Similarly, 3PG was released as 2-phosphoglycolic acid (PG) by enzymatic hydrolysis. Following HPLC prepurification, both PG and HMP were silylated and quantified by GC/MS, with limits of detection of 100 and 200 fmol and sensitivities of 2 and 4 lesions per 10(6) nucleotides (nt) in 250 microg of DNA, respectively. Following validation of the methods with oligodeoxynucleotides containing the two lesions, the methods were applied to DNA damage produced by bleomycin and gamma radiation. As expected for an agent known to produce only 4' oxidation of DNA, the quantities of 3PG and oxAB accounted for all 2-deoxyribose oxidation events, as indicated by slopes of 0.8 and 0.3, respectively, in plots of the lesion frequency against total 2-deoxyribose oxidation events, with the latter determined by a plasmid-nicking assay. 3PG residues and oxAB were produced at the rate of 32 and 12 lesions per 10(6) nt per microM, respectively. For gamma radiation, on the other hand, 4' oxidation was found to comprise only 13% of 2-deoxyribose oxidation chemistry, with 3% oxAB (4 per 10(6) nt per Gy) and 10% 3PG (13 per 10(6) nt per Gy).

Abstract
We describe procedures for the synthesis of a fluorescent pyrimidine analog and its site-specific incorporation into a DNA oligomer. The 5'-protected and 3'-activated nucleoside 4 is synthesized in three steps with an overall yield of 40%. Site-specific incorporation into a DNA oligomer occurs with greater than 88% coupling efficiency. This isosteric fluorescent DNA analog can be used to monitor denaturation of DNA duplexes via fluorescence and can positively detect the presence of abasic sites in DNA duplexes. The total time for synthesis of the phosphoramidite 4 is about 75 h, whereas the total time for site-specific incorporation of nucleoside 2 into an oligonucleotide and purification of the corresponding oligonucleotide is about 114 hours.

Abstract
A manganese porphyrin, manganese(III)-bis(aqua)-meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin, in the presence of KHSO5 is able to perform deoxyribose or guanine oxidation depending on its mode of interaction with DNA. These two reactions involve an oxygen-atom transfer or an electron transfer, respectively. The oxidative reactivity of the manganese-oxo porphyrin was compared on short oligonucleotide duplexes of different sequences. The major mechanism of DNA damage is due to deoxyribose hydroxylation at a site of strong interaction, an (A.T)3 sequence. Guanine oxidation by electron transfer was found not to be competitive with this major mechanism. It was found that a single intrastrand guanine was three orders of magnitude less reactive than an (A.T)3 sequence. The reactivity of a 5'-GG sequence was found to be intermediate and was estimated to be two orders of magnitude less than that of an (A.T)3 site. Short oligonucleotide duplexes, as double-stranded-DNA models, proved to be convenient tools for the study of the comparative reactivity of this reagent toward different sequences of DNA. However, they showed a particular reactivity at their terminal base pairs (the "end effect") that biased their modeling capacity for double-helix-DNA models.

Abstract
Photoactivable deoxyadenosine mimic, 3-deaza-3-nitro-2'-deoxyadenosine (2), was prepared using two different synthetic routes. The first route involved base catalyzed glycosylation of 3-deaza-3-nitroadenine, which was prepared by regioselective nitration of 3-deazaadenine. In the second route, the convertible nucleoside 6-O-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine (28) was used to introduce 6-NH2 group in the last step.
