Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms of hexavalent chromium(VI) induced DNA damage were unveiled by detecting products of single- and double-stranded DNA in the presence of glutathione. The absence of a detectable hydroxyl radical in the reactions indicates that DNA damage was exclusively by hypervalent chromium species. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) experiments with 32-mer single-stranded oligonucleotide and its...
