Description:
The laser excited fluorescence-line-narrowed spectrum of DNA modified with (+/-)-r-7,t-8-dihydroxy-t-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (BPDE), the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene (BP), has been obtained in a water-glycerol-ethanol glass at 4.2 K. The spectrum was well resolved and highly characteristic of the chromophore. Comparisons were made between the spectrum of this modified DNA and the isolated deoxyguanosine-BPDE adduct and a series of other 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-BP (THBP) derivatives. 9-Hydroxy-BP 4,5-oxide, which is also involved in the binding of BP to DNA, and THBP have very similar conventional broadband fluorescence spectra. However, the fluorescence-line-narrowed spectra of their derivatives were readily distinguishable either as individual components or as mixtures.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Heisig, V -- Jeffrey, A M -- McGlade, M J -- Small, G J -- CA 021111/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Jan 20;223(4633):289-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6422551" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
