H. Inoue et al., NOVEL DNA-DAMAGE MEDIATED BY OXIDATION OF VARIOUS MODIFIED NUCLEOTIDERESIDUES, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 16(7-9), 1997, pp. 1489-1490
Permanganate reaction of DNA oligomers containing an 8-oxoadenine or 5
-hydroxyuracil residue was studied, and the results were compared with
those for an 8-oxoguanine-containing oligomers. We obtained similar r
esults and found that the nucleotide residues neighboring the modified
base were damaged and that the novel damage was induced by the oxidat
ion of the modified base.
