Abstract
Oxygen-dependent epoxidation and oxidative cleavage of trans-beta-meth ylstyrene is shown to occur during reduction of chromium(VI) by glutat hione. Oxygen-activated chromium(IV) or (V) intermediates are hence a possible pathway to the oxidative damage of DNA in vitro. (C) 1997 Els evier Science Ltd.
