Description
(Chemical Equation Presented) Torn genes: DNA tetramers containing the 2-deoxyribonolactone (dL) lesion have been isolated by HPLC from d(CGCG) and d(pCGCG) films irradiated with X-rays. Upon treatment with spermine as a catalyst, the dL-containing tetramers decompose to 5-methylene-2-furanone (5-MF; see scheme), a characteristic product of dL decomposition. Hence, 5-MP can be used to quantify dL lesions in DNA.
