Abstract excerpt
Spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) is a hyperoxidized guanine base produced from oxidation of the mutagenic DNA lesion 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxguanosine (8-oxoG) by a variety of species including peroxynitrite, singlet oxygen, and the high-valent metals Ir(IV) and Cr(V). In this study, the conformation and thermodynamic stability of a 15-mer DNA duplex containing an Sp lesion are examined using spectroscopic techniques...
