Sažetak
Nanosecond laser-induced oxidative lesions at guanines within DNA were investigated using sequencing gel electrophoresis analysis. Strong sequence-specific lesions on guanines were revealed by either Fpg or piperidine treatments and assigned to 8-oxoG and oxazolone, respectively. It was shown that both the biphotonic ionization process and the chemical reactivity of the radical cation (G+) are dependent on the DNA sequence. The former were explained by the occurrence of energy and charge migration phenomena, while the latter in terms of local DNA hydration peculiarities.
