title: Reaction of trichloromethyl free radicals with deoxyribonucleic acid bases.
abstract: Trichloromethyl free radicals from CCl4, chemically produced by benzoyl peroxide catalysis, interact with the four DNA bases. More than one product is produced with each base and adenine and guanine are the ones which react more intensively.
