Abstract excerpt
The DNA reaction pattern of the methane diazonium ion, which is the reactive intermediate formed from several carcinogenic methylating agents, was examined at N7 and O(6) sites in guanine runs occurring in oligonucleotides and model oligonucleotides. Density functional B3LYP/6-31G*, and SCF 3-21G and STO-3G energies of model transition states were calculated in the gas phase and in the CPCM reaction field. For...
