Direct observation of the oxidation of DNA bases by phosphate radicals formed under radiation: a model of the backbone-to-base hole transfer

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2018, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C8CP00352A, PaperJun Ma, Jean-Louis Marignier, Pascal Pernot, Chantal Houee-Levin, Anil Kumar, Michael D. Sevilla, Amitava Adhikary, Mehran Mostafavi In irradiated DNA, by the base-to-base and backbone-to-base hole transfer processes, the hole (i.e., the unpaired spin) localizes on the most electropositive base, guanine.
