Abstract excerpt
We investigated abasic site formation in calf thymus DNA after exposure to a model compound of lipid-derived peroxyl radical that was generated by the reaction of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) with hemoglobin. Abasic site density in DNA was quantified by use of an enzyme-linked immunosorvent assay-like assay. In the presence of 10 mM t-BuOOH and 12.5 or 25 microM hemoglobin, 0.6-1.0 abasic sites/10(4)...
