Popis: Fluorescence intensity measurements of overall, pseudo-first-order rate constants for two epoxide-containing metabolites of benzo[R]pyrene (BP) were carried out in Tris, EDTA buffer (pH 7.3) without DNA, and in buffer with double-stranded calf thymus DNA (DS ctDNA) and with closed-circular, single-stranded viral M 13mp19 DNA (SS M13 DNA). Highly purified SS M13 DNA was employed in order to avoid polymeric contamination which is present in DNA samples obtained using a standard preparation method relying on phenol extraction and which influences results from measurements of DNA-ligand interactions. The BP metabolites examined were highly carcinogenic (±)-trans-7,8-dihydroxy-anti-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[α]pyrene (BPDE) and less genotoxic benzo[α]pyrene 4,5-oxide (BPO)
