title: One-electron oxidation of the guanine moiety of 2'-deoxyguanosine: influence of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine.
abstract: The influence of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) on riboflavin and UVA-mediated one-electron oxidation of an aqueous aerated solution of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) has been studied. Using labeled experiments, we have demonstrated that, despite not being able to detect significant amounts of 8-oxodGuo upon one-electron oxidation of dGuo, 8-oxodGuo is indeed produced but is further rapidly degraded to oxidized nucleosides. Evidence is provided showing that an efficient electron transfer reaction from 8-oxodGuo to the guanine radical cation or rather its deprotonated form occurs, giving rise to the specific decomposition of 8-oxodGuo together with the restitution of dGuo. It could be concluded that 8-oxodGuo efficiently protects dGuo from decomposition by the one-electron oxidation reaction.
