title: Absolute configuration of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-DNA adducts in mouse epidermis.
abstract: 32P-Postlabeling was used to monitor the formation of DMBA-DNA adducts in mouse epidermis from each enantiomer of the trans 3,4-dihydrodiol. It was shown that the (4R,3R)-dihydrodiol is converted to the anti (4R,3S)-dihydrodiol (2S,1R)-epoxide which reacts with deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine residues in epidermal DNA to yield two of the major adducts formed when DMBA itself binds to epidermal DNA. The third major DMBA-derived adduct with deoxyadenosine residues was shown to arise from the (4S,3R)-dihydrodiol through the intermediacy of the syn (4S,3R)-dihydrodiol (2S,1R)-epoxide.
