Abstract
In this work, we used ωB97XD density functional and 6-31++G** basis set to study the structure, electron affinity, populations via Boltzmann distribution, and one-electron reduction potentials (E°) of 2′-deoxyribose sugar radicals in aqueous phase by considering 2′-deoxyguanosine and 2′-deoxythymidine as a model of DNA. The calculation predicted the relative stability of sugar radicals in the order C4′• > C1′• > C5′• > C3′• > C2′•. The Boltzmann distribution populations based on the relative stability of the sugar radicals were not those found for ionizing radiation or OH-radical attack and are good evidence the kinetic mechanisms of the processes drive the products formed. The adiabatic electron affinities of these sugar radicals were in the range 2.6–3.3 eV which is higher than the canonical DNA bases. The sugar radicals reduction potentials (E°) without protonation (−1.8 to −1.2 V) were also significantly higher than the bases. Thus the sugar radicals will be far more readily reduced by solvated electrons than the DNA bases. In the aqueous phase, these one-electron reduced sugar radicals (anions) are protonated from solvent and thus are efficiently repaired via the “electron-induced proton transfer mechanism”. The calculation shows that, in comparison to efficient repair of sugar radicals by the electron-induced proton transfer mechanism, the repair of the cyclopurine lesion, 5′,8-cyclo-2′-dG, would involve a substantial barrier.

Abstract
Tandem DNA lesions containing two contiguously damaged nucleotides are commonly formed by ionizing radiation. Their effects on replication in mammalian cells are largely unknown. Replication of isolated 2-deoxyribonolactone (L), thymine glycol (Tg), and tandem lesion 5'-LTg was examined in human cells. Although nearly 100% of Tg was bypassed in HEK 293T cells, L was a significant replication block. 5'-LTg was an even stronger replication block with 5% TLS efficiency. The mutation frequency (MF) of Tg was 3.4%, which increased to 3.9% and 4.8% in pol ι- and pol κ-deficient cells, respectively. An even greater increase in the MF of Tg (to ∼5.5%) was observed in cells deficient in both pol κ and pol ζ, suggesting that they work together to bypass Tg in an error-free manner. Isolated L bypass generated 12-18% one-base deletions, which increased as much as 60% in TLS polymerase-deficient cells. The fraction of deletion products also increased in TLS polymerase-deficient cells upon 5'-LTg bypass. In full-length products and in all cell types, dA was preferentially incorporated opposite an isolated L as well as when it was part of a tandem lesion. However, misincorporation opposite Tg increased significantly when it was part of a tandem lesion. In wild type cells, targeted mutations increased about 3-fold to 9.7% and to 17.4, 15.9, and 28.8% in pol κ-, pol ζ-, and pol ι-deficient cells, respectively. Overall, Tg is significantly more miscoding as part of a tandem lesion, and error-free Tg replication in HEK 293T cells requires participation of the TLS polymerases.

Abstract
In this review article, emphasis is placed on the critical survey of available data concerning modified nucleobase and 2-deoxyribose products that have been identified in cellular DNA following exposure to a wide variety of oxidizing species and agents including, hydroxyl radical, one-electron oxidants, singlet oxygen, hypochlorous acid and ten-eleven translocation enzymes. In addition, information is provided about the generation of secondary oxidation products of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine and nucleobase addition products with reactive aldehydes arising from the decomposition of lipid peroxides. It is worth noting that the different classes of oxidatively generated DNA damage that consist of single lesions, intra- and interstrand cross-links were unambiguously assigned and quantitatively detected on the basis of accurate measurements involving in most cases high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The reported data clearly show that the frequency of DNA lesions generated upon severe oxidizing conditions, including exposure to ionizing radiation is low, at best a few modifications per 106 normal bases. Application of accurate analytical measurement methods has also allowed the determination of repair kinetics of several well-defined lesions in cellular DNA that however concerns so far only a restricted number of cases.

Abstract
The focus of our laboratory's investigation is to study the direct-type DNA damage mechanisms resulting from γ-ray and ion-beam radiation-induced free radical processes in DNA which lead to molecular damage important to cellular survival. This work compares the results of low LET (γ-) and high LET (ion-beam) radiation to develop a chemical track structure model for ion-beam radiation damage to DNA. Recent studies on protonation states of cytosine cation radicals in the N1-substituted cytosine derivatives in their ground state and 5-methylcytosine cation radicals in ground as well as in excited state are described. Our results exhibit a radical signature of excitations in 5-methylcytosine cation radical. Moreover, our recent theoretical studies elucidate the role of electron-induced reactions (low energy electrons (LEE), presolvated electrons (epre-), and aqueous (or, solvated) electrons (eaq-)). Finally DFT calculations of the ionization potentials of various sugar radicals show the relative reactivity of these species.

Abstract
The carbonate radical anion CO(3)(•-) is a potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in vivo through enzymatic one-electron oxidation of bicarbonate or, mostly, via the reaction of CO(2) with peroxynitrite. Due to the vitally essential role of the carbon dioxide/bicarbonate buffer system in regulation of physiological pH, CO(3)(•-) is arguably one of the most important ROS in biological systems. So far, the studies of reactions of CO(3)(•-) with DNA have been focused on the pathways initiated by oxidation of guanines in DNA. In this study, low-molecular products of attack of CO(3)(•-) on the sugar-phosphate backbone in vitro were analyzed by reversed phase HPLC. The selectivity of damage in double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) was found to follow the same pattern C4' > C1' > C5' for both CO(3)(•-) and the hydroxyl radical, though the relative contribution of the C1' damage induced by CO(3)(•-) is substantially higher. In single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) oxidation at C1' by CO3(•-) prevails over all other sugar damages. An approximately 2000-fold preference for 8-oxoguanine (8oxoG) formation over sugar damage found in our study identifies CO(3)(•-) primarily as a one-electron oxidant with fairly low reactivity toward the sugar-phosphate backbone.

Abstract
The genotoxic effects of high-energy ionizing radiation have been largely attributed to the ionization of H2O leading to hydroxyl radicals and the ionization of DNA leading mostly to damage through base radical cations. However, the contribution of low-energy electrons (LEEs; ≤ 10 eV), which involves subionization events, has been considered to be less important than that of hydroxyl radicals and base radical cations. Here, we compare the ability of LEEs and high-energy X-ray photons to induce DNA damage using dried thin films of TpTpT trinucleotide as a simple and representative model for DNA damage. The main radiation-induced damage of TpTpT as measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection and HPLC coupled to tandem mass spectrometry analyses included thymine release (-Thy), strand breaks (pT, Tp, pTpT, TpTp, and TpT), and the formation of base modifications [5,6-dihydrothymine (5,6-dhT), 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5-hmU), and 5-formyluracil (5-fU)]. The global profile of products was very similar for both types of radiation indicating converging pathways of formation. The percent damage of thymine release, fragmentation, and base modification was 20, 19, and 61 for high-energy X-rays, respectively, compared to 35, 13, and 51 for LEEs (10 eV). Base release was significantly lower for X-rays. In both cases, phosphodiester bond cleavage gave mononucleotides (pT and Tp) and dinucleotides (pTpT and TpTp) containing a terminal phosphate as the major fragments. For base modifications, the ratio of reductive (5,6-dhT) to oxidative products (5-hmU plus 5-fU) was 0.9 for high-energy X-rays compared to 1.7 for LEEs. These results indicate that LEEs give a similar profile of products compared to ionizing radiation.

Abstract
A DFT study of radiation induced alkoxy radical formation in crystalline α-l-rhamnose has been performed to better understand the processes leading to selective radical formation in carbohydrates upon exposure to ionizing radiation at low temperatures. The apparent specificity of radiation damage to carbohydrates is of great interest for understanding radiation damage processes in the ribose backbone of the DNA molecule. Alkoxy radicals are formed by deprotonation from hydroxyl groups in oxidized sugar molecules. In α-l-rhamnose only one alkoxy radical is observed experimentally even though there are four possible sites for alkoxy radical formation. In the present work, the origin of this apparently specific action of radiation damage is investigated by computationally examining all four possible deprotonation reactions from oxygen in the oxidized molecule. All calculations are performed in a periodic approach and include estimates of the energy barriers for the deprotonation reactions using the Nudged Elastic Band (NEB) method. One of the four possible radical sites is ruled out due to the lack of a suitable proton acceptor. For the other three possible sites, the reaction paths and energy profiles from primary cationic radicals to stable, neutral alkoxy radicals are compared. It is found that deprotonation from one site (corresponding to the experimentally observed radical) differs from the others in that the reaction path is less energy demanding. Hence, it is suggested that the alkoxy radical formation is not necessarily site specific, but that the observed radical is formed in much greater abundance than the others due to the different energetics of the processes and reaction products.

Abstract
We have identified a series of modifications of the 2'-deoxyribose moiety of DNA arising from the exposure of isolated and cellular DNA to ionizing radiation. The modifications consist of 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside derivatives of T, C, A, and G, as identified by enzymatic digestion and LC-MS/MS. Under dry conditions, the yield of these products was 6- to 44-fold lower than the yield of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine. We propose that 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleosides are generated from the reaction of low-energy electrons with DNA, leading to cleavage of the C3'-O bond and formation of the corresponding C3'-deoxyribose radical.

Abstract
The chemical repair of radical-damaged DNA by glutathione in aqueous solution has been studied using density functional theory. Two main mechanisms were investigated: the single electron transfer (SET) and the hydrogen transfer (HT). Glutathione was found to repair radical damaged DNA by HT from the thiol group with rate constants that are close to the diffusion-limited regime, which means that the process is fast enough for repairing the damage before replication and therefore for preventing permanent DNA damage. The SET mechanism was found to be of minor importance for the activity of glutathione. In addition while SET can be essential for other compounds when repairing radical cation species, repairing the C'-centered guanosyl radicals via SET is not a viable mechanism, due to the very low electron affinity of these species. The importance of considering pH-related physiological conditions and using complex enough models, including the ribose moiety and the H bonding between base pairs, to study this kind of systems is discussed.

Abstract
One electron oxidation of neutral sugar radicals has recently been suggested to lead to important intermediates in the DNA damage process culminating in DNA strand breaks. In this work, we investigate sugar radicals in a DNA model system to understand the energetics of sugar radical formation and oxidation. The geometries of neutral sugar radicals C(1')(•), C(2')(•), C(3')(•), C(4')(•), and C(5')(•) of 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG) and 2'-deoxythymidine (dT) were optimized in the gas phase and in solution using the B3LYP and ωB97x functionals and 6-31++G(d) basis set. Their corresponding cations (C(1')(+), C(2')(+), C(3')(+), C(4')(+), and C(5')(+)) were generated by removing an electron (one-electron oxidation) from the neutral sugar radicals, and their geometries were also optimized using the same methods and basis set. The calculation predicts the relative stabilities of the neutral sugar radicals in the order C(1')(•) > C(4')(•) > C(5')(•) > C(3')(•) > C(2')(•), respectively. Of the neutral sugar radicals, C(1')(•) has the lowest vertical ionization potential (IP(vert)), ca. 6.33 eV in the gas phase and 4.71 eV in solution. C(2')(•) has the highest IP(vert), ca. 8.02 eV, in the gas phase, and the resultant C(2') cation is predicted to undergo a barrierless hydride transfer from the C(1') site to produce the C(1') cation. One electron oxidation of C(2')(•) in dG is predicted to result in a low lying triplet state consisting of G(+•) and C(2')(•). The 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosin-7-yl radical formed by intramolecular bonding between C(5')(•) and C(8) of guanine transfers spin density from C(5') site to guanine, and this structure has IP(vert) 6.25 and 5.48 eV in the gas phase and in solution.

Abstract
This study reports the effects of denaturation and deoxygenation on radiation-induced formation of 2-deoxyribonolactone (2-dL) and 5'-aldehyde (5'-Ald) lesions in highly polymerized DNA. The radiation-chemical yields of 2-dL were determined through quantification of its dephosphorylation product 5-methylenefuranone (5MF). The formation of 5'-Ald was monitored qualitatively through the release of furfural (Fur) under the same conditions. The yields of 2-dL were found to be 7.3 ± 0.3 nmol J(-1), or about 18% of the yield of free base release measured in the same samples. Denaturation increased the efficiency of 2-dL formation approximately twofold while deoxygenation resulted in a fourfold decrease. The release of Fur is about twofold lower than that of 5MF in aerated native DNA samples and is further reduced by denaturation of the DNA. Unlike 5MF, the formation of Fur requires the presence of molecular oxygen, which is consistent with peroxyl radical-mediated oxidation of C5' radicals into 5'-Ald. In contrast, the existence of an oxygen-independent pathway of 2-dL formation suggests that C1' sugar radicals can also be oxidized by radiation-produced oxidizing intermediates such as electron-loss centers on guanines.

Abstract
For many years, the repair of most damage in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was thought limited to short-patch base excision repair (SP-BER), which replaces a single nucleotide by the sequential action of DNA glycosylases, an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease, the mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma, an abasic lyase activity, and mitochondrial DNA ligase. However, the likely array of lesions inflicted on mtDNA by oxygen radicals and the possibility of replication errors and disruptions indicated that such a restricted repair repertoire would be inadequate. Recent studies have considerably expanded our knowledge of mtDNA repair to include long-patch base excision repair (LP-BER), mismatch repair, and homologous recombination and nonhomologous end-joining. In addition, elimination of mutagenic 8-oxodeoxyguanosine triphosphate (8-oxodGTP) helps prevent cell death due to the accumulation of this oxidation product in mtDNA. Although it was suspected for many years that irreparably damaged mtDNA might be targeted for degradation, only recently was clear evidence provided for this hypothesis. Therefore, multiple DNA repair pathways and controlled degradation of mtDNA function together to maintain the integrity of mitochondrial genome.

Abstract
2-Deoxyribonolactone lesions were identified as major products of radiation damage to DNA mediated by o,o'-diphenyleneiodonium cations in a hydroxyl radical-scavenging environment. The highest selectivity toward deoxyribonolactone formation (up to 86% of all sugar-phosphate damages) and the overall reaction efficiency (up to 40% of all radiation-generated intermediates converted into products) was displayed by derivatives with positively charged (2-aminoethylthio)acetylamino and (2-aminoethylamino)acetylamino side chains. The reaction can be useful for random single-step incorporation of deoxyribonolactone lesions into single- and double-stranded oligonucleotides and highly polymerized DNA directly in commonly used buffers (PBS, phosphate, Tris-HCl, etc.) at room temperature. In combination with HPLC separation, this technique can serve as a source of short (<6 mer) sequences containing deoxyribonolactone lesions at known positions.

Abstract
DNA tandem lesions are comprised of two contiguously damaged nucleotides. This subset of clustered lesions is produced by a variety of oxidizing agents, including ionizing radiation. Clustered lesions can inhibit base excision repair (BER). We report the effects of tandem lesions composed of a thymine glycol and a 5'-adjacent 2-deoxyribonolactone (LTg) or tetrahydrofuran abasic site (FTg). Some BER enzymes that act on the respective isolated lesions do not accept the tandem lesion as a substrate. For instance, endonuclease III (Nth) does not excise thymine glycol (Tg) when it is part of either tandem lesion. Similarly, endonuclease IV (Nfo) does not incise L or F when they are in tandem with Tg. Long-patch BER overcomes inhibition by the tandem lesion. DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta) carries out strand displacement synthesis, following APE1 incision of the abasic site. Pol beta activity is enhanced by flap endonuclease (FEN1), which cleaves the resulting flap. The tandem lesion is also incised by the bacterial nucleotide excision repair system UvrABC with almost the same efficiency as an isolated Tg. These data reveal two solutions that DNA repair systems can use to counteract the formation of tandem lesions.

Abstract
DNA damage results in the formation of abasic sites from the formal hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond (AP) and several oxidized abasic lesions. Previous studies on AP sites revealed that DNA polymerases preferentially incorporated dA opposite them in approximately 80% of the replication events in Escherichia coli. These results were consistent with the hypothesis that the AP sites are noninstructive lesions due to the absence of a Watson-Crick base whose bypass adheres to the "A-rule." Recent replication studies of the oxidized abasic lesion, 2-deoxyribonolactone (L), revealed that DNA polymerase(s) does not apply the A-rule when bypassing it and incorporates large amounts of dG opposite L. These studies suggested that abasic sites such as L do direct polymerases to selectively incorporate nucleotides opposite them. However, it was not possible to determine the structural basis for this molecular recognition from these experiments. A group of oligonucleotides containing analogues of the AP and L lesions were synthesized and characterized as probes to gain insight into the structural basis for the distinct effect of 2-deoxyribonolactone on replication. These molecules will be useful tools for studying replication in cells and in vitro.

Abstract
Working under the assumption that hormesis is triggered by specific types of DNA damage, this report focuses on the types of damage which form the signature of ionizing radiation. The key attribute of the signature is the clustering of damage, arising from clusters of energy deposition such that more than one site within a 10 base pair segment of DNA has been chemically altered. A brief overview is given on what is currently believed to be the primary components of clustered damage produced by the direct effect. The overview draws primarily on studies that utilize electron paramagnetic resonance to measure free radical intermediates and gel electrophoresis to measure clustered damage in plasmid DNA. Based on this information, the threshold for a radiation induced biological response is calculated.

Mechanisms of direct radiation damage in DNA, based on a study of the yields of base damage, deoxyribose damage, and trapped radicals in d(GCACGCGTGC)(2). Radiat Res 2007; 168:367-81.

Abstract
Dose-response curves were measured for the formation of direct-type DNA products in X-irradiated d(GCACGCGTGC)(2)prepared as dry films and as crystalline powders. Damage to deoxyribose (dRib) was assessed by HPLC measurements of strand break products containing 3' or 5' terminal phosphate and free base release. Base damage was measured using GC/ MS after acid hydrolysis and trimethylsilylation. The yield of trappable radicals was measured at 4 K by EPR of films X-irradiated at 4 K. With exception of those used for EPR, all samples were X-irradiated at room temperature. There was no measurable difference between working under oxygen or under nitrogen. The chemical yields (in units of nmol/J) for trapped radicals, free base release, 8-oxoGua, 8-oxoAde, diHUra and diHThy were G(total)(fr) = 618 +/- 60, G(fbr) = 93 +/- 8, G(8-oxoGua) = 111 +/- 62, G(8-oxoAde) = 4 +/- 3, G(diHUra) = 127 +/- 160, and G(diHThy) = 39 +/- 60, respectively. The yields were determined and the dose-response curves explained by a mechanistic model consisting of three reaction pathways: (1) trappable-radical single-track, (2) trappable-radical multiple-track, and (3) molecular. If the base content is projected from the decamer's GC:AT ratio of 4:1 to a ratio of 1:1, the percentage of the total measured damage (349 nmol/J) would partition as follows: 20 +/- 16% 8-oxoGua, 3 +/- 3% 8-oxoAde, 28 +/- 46% diHThy, 23 +/- 32% diHUra, and 27 +/- 17% dRib damage. With a cautionary note regarding large standard deviations, the projected yield of total damage is higher in CG-rich DNA because C combined with G is more prone to damage than A combined with T, the ratio of base damage to deoxyribose damage is approximately 3:1, the yield of diHUra is comparable to the yield of diHThy, and the yield of 8-oxoAde is not negligible. While the quantity and quality of the data fall short of proving the hypothesized model, the model provides an explanation for the dose-response curves of the more prevalent end products and provides a means of measuring their chemical yields, i.e., their rate of formation at zero dose. Therefore, we believe that this comprehensive analytical approach, combined with the mechanistic model, will prove important in predicting risk due to exposure to low doses and low dose rates of ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Unaltered free base release in d(CGCGCG)2 exposed to X rays at 4 K or room temperature was measured by HPLC. Samples were prepared either as films hydrated to a level of Gamma = 2.5 mol water/mol nucleotide or as polycrystalline with Gamma approximately 7.5 mol water/mol nucleotide. X irradiation of films at 4 K, followed by annealing to room temperature, resulted in yields for cytosine and guanine of G(Cyt) = 0.036 +/- 0.001 micromol/J and G(Gua) = 0.090 +/- 0.002 micromol/J. Irradiation of films at room temperature gave similar yields. The yields for polycrystalline d(CGCGCG)2 X-irradiated at room temperature were G(Cyt) = 0.035 +/- 0.005 micromol/J and G(Gua) = 0.077 +/- 0.023 micromol/J. The total free base release yield, G(fbr), was 0.124 +/- 0.008 micromol/J for films and 0.112 +/- 0.028 micromol/J for polycrystalline samples. G(fbr) is believed to be a good estimate of total strand break yield. The yields of total free radicals trapped [G(Sigmafr)] by the d(CGCGCG)2 films at 4 K were measured by EPR. The measured value, G(Sigmafr) = 0.450 +/- 0.005 micromol/J, was used to calculate the yield of trappable sugar radicals, giving G(sugar)(fr) = 0.04-0.07 micromol/J. We found that (1) guanine release exceeded cytosine release by more than twofold, (2) G(sugar)(fr) cannot account for more than half of the free base release, and (3) G(fbr), G(Cyt) and G(Gua) were independent of the sample temperature during irradiation. Finding (1) suggests that base and or sequence influences sugar damage, and finding (2) is consistent with our working hypothesis that an important pathway to strand break formation entails two one-electron oxidations at the same sugar site.

Abstract
DNA damage is a double-edged sword. The modifications produced in the biopolymer are associated with aging, and give rise to a variety of diseases, including cancer. DNA is also the target of anti-tumor agents and the most generally used nonsurgical treatment of cancer, ionizing radiation. Agents that damage DNA produce a variety of radicals. Elucidating the chemistry of individual DNA radicals is challenging due to the availability of multiple reactive pathways and complexities inherent with carrying out mechanistic studies on a heterogeneous polymer. The ability to independently generate radicals and their metastable products at defined sites in DNA has greatly facilitated understanding this biologically important chemistry.

Abstract
The development of sophisticated microscopic models of energy transfer in linear multichromophoric systems such as conjugated polymers is rarely matched by suitable experimental studies on the microscopic level. To assess the roles of structural, temporal, and energetic disorder in energy transfer, single molecule spectroscopic investigations of the elementary processes leading to energetic relaxation in conjugated polymers are desirable. We present a detailed study of energy transfer processes occurring in dye-endcapped conjugated polymer molecules on the single molecule level. These processes are mostly masked in ensemble investigations. Highly efficient intramolecular energy transfer along a single polyindenofluorene chain to a perylene endcap occurs in many instances and is resolved in real time. We further consider the spectral emission characteristics of the single molecule, the polarization anisotropy which reveals the chain conformation, the fluorescence intermittency, and the temperature dependence and conclude that the efficiency of energy transfer in the ensemble is controlled by the statistics of the individual molecules. The weak thermal activation of energy transfer indicates the involvement of vibrational modes in interchromophoric coupling. Whereas backbone-endcap coupling is strong, the rate-limiting step for intramolecular energy transfer is the migration along the backbone. The results are particularly relevant to understanding undesired exciton trapping on fluorenone defects in polyfluorenes.

Abstract
2-Deoxyribonolactone (L) and 2-deoxyribose (AP) are abasic sites that are produced by ionizing radiation, reactive oxygen species and a variety of DNA damaging agents. The biological processing of the AP site has been examined in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, nothing is known about how L is processed in this organism. We determined the bypass and mutagenic specificity of DNA containing an abasic site (AP and L) or the AP analog tetrahydrofuran (F) using an oligonucleotide transformation assay. The tetrahydrofuran analog and L were bypassed at 10-fold higher frequencies than the AP lesions. Bypass frequencies of lesions were greatly reduced in the absence of Rev1 or Polζ (rev3 mutant), but were only marginally reduced in the absence of Polη (rad30 mutant). Deoxycytidine was the preferred nucleotide inserted opposite an AP site whereas dA and dC were inserted at equal frequencies opposite F and L sites. In the rev1 and rev3 strains, dA was the predominant nucleotide inserted opposite these lesions. Overall, we conclude that both Rev1 and Polζ are required for the efficient bypass of abasic sites in yeast.
