Popis: DNA or 2-deoxyguanosine reacts with hydroxyl free radical to form 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG). We found that 8-OH-dG can be effectively separated from deoxyguanosine by high pressure liquid chromatography and very sensitively detected using electrochemical detection. The sensitivity of electrochemical detection is about one-thousand fold enhanced over optical detection. Utilizing deoxyguanosine in bicarbonate buffer it was found that ferrous ion, but not ferric ion, was effective in forming 8-OH-dG. The hydroxyl free radical scavenging agents, thiourea and ethanol, were very effective in quenching Fe(11) mediated 8-OH-dG formation, but superoxide dismutase had very little effect.
