title: Sequence specificity of ozone-degradation of bases in supercoiled plasmid DNA.
abstract: It was found that ozone reacted preferentially with thymine and guanine residues located in the specific region in pBR322 DNA. The sequence analysis of the region including the cleavage site produced by ozonization of ccDNA showed that ozone-modification proceeded in the single stranded region formed by cruciform-formation in supercoiled DNA.
