title: The photochemistry of 5-BrdCpdC, dCp5-BrdCpdA, and dCp5-BrdCdT in aqueous solution.
abstract: We isolated an intrastrand crosslink product from the Pyrex-filtered UV light irradiation of 5-BrdCpdC in aqueous solution. ESI-MS, MS/MS, and 2-D nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) results showed that the C5 carbon atoms of the two cytosines are covalently bonded. The same cross-link product can also be induced from the similar UV irradiation of dCp5-BrdCpdA and dCp5-BrdCpdT.
