Abstract
Pyrimidine dimers are the most common DNA lesions generated under UV radiation. To reveal the molecular mechanisms behind their formation, it is of significance to reveal the roles of each pyrimidine residue. We thus replaced the 5'-pyrimidine residue with a photochemically inert xylene moiety (X). The electron-rich X can be readily oxidized but not reduced, defining the direction of interbase electron transfer (ET). Irradiation of the XpT dinucleotide under 254 nm UV light generates two major photoproducts: a pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone analog (6-4PP) and an analog of the so-called spore photoproduct (SP). Both products are formed by reaction at C4=O of the photo-excited 3'-thymidine (T), which indicates that excitation of a single "driver" residue is sufficient to trigger pyrimidine dimerization. Our quantum-chemical calculations demonstrated that photo-excited 3'-T accepts an electron from 5'-X. The resulting charge-separated radical pair lowers its energy upon formation of interbase covalent bonds, eventually yielding 6-4PP and SP.

Abstract
The tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK, 1) is a potent lung carcinogen in laboratory animals and is believed to play a key role in the development of lung cancer in smokers. Metabolic activation of NNK leads to the formation of pyridyloxobutyl DNA adducts, a critical step in its mechanism of carcinogenesis. In addition to DNA nucleobase adducts, DNA phosphate adducts can be formed by pyridyloxobutylation of the oxygen atoms of the internucleotidic phosphodiester linkages. We report the use of a liquid chromatography-nanoelectrospray ionization-high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry technique to characterize 30 novel pyridyloxobutyl DNA phosphate adducts in calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) treated with 4-(acetoxymethylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNKOAc, 2), a regiochemically activated form of NNK. A (15)N3-labeled internal standard was synthesized for one of the most abundant phosphate adducts, dCp[4-oxo-4-(3-pyridyl)butyl]dC (CpopC), and this standard was used to quantify CpopC and to estimate the levels of other adducts in the NNKOAc-treated CT-DNA. Formation of DNA phosphate adducts by NNK in vivo was further investigated in rats treated with NNK acutely (0.1 mmol/kg once daily for 4 days by subcutaneous injection) and chronically (5 ppm in drinking water for 10, 30, 50, and 70 weeks). This study provides the first comprehensive structural identification and quantitation of a panel of DNA phosphate adducts of a structurally complex carcinogen and chemical support for future mechanistic studies of tobacco carcinogenesis in humans.

Abstract
Cyclobutane-pyrimidine dimer yields in UV-irradiated DNA are controlled by the equilibrium between forward and reverse photoreactions. Past studies have shown that dimer yields are suppressed at sites adjacent to a purine base, but the underlying causes are unclear. In order to investigate whether this suppression is the result of repair by electron transfer from a neighboring nucleobase, the yields and dynamics of the reverse reaction were studied using trinucleotides containing a cis-syn dimer (T<>T) flanked on the 5' or the 3' side by adenine or guanine. The probability of forming an excited state on T<>T or on the purine base was varied by tuning the irradiation wavelength between 240 and 280 nm. Cleavage quantum yields decrease by an order of magnitude over this wavelength range and are less than 1% at 280 nm, a wavelength that excites the purine base with more than 95% probability. Conditional quantum yields of cleavage for the trinucleotides given excitation of T<>T are similar in magnitude to the quantum yield of cleavage of unmodified T<>T. These results indicate that within experimental uncertainty all photoreversal in these single-stranded substrates is the result of direct electronic excitation of T<>T. Photolyase-like repair of T<>T due to electron transfer from an adjacent purine is negligible in these substrates. Instead, the observed variation in photoreversal quantum yields for adenine- versus guanine-flanked cis-syn dimer could be due to uncertainties in absorption cross sections or to a modest quenching effect by the purine on the excited state of T<>T. Pump-probe measurements reveal that the excited-state lifetimes of A or G in the dimer-containing trinucleotides are unperturbed by the neighboring dimer, indicating that electron transfer from purine base to T<>T is not competitive with rapid excited-state deactivation. Pump-probe measurements on unmodified T<>T in aqueous solution indicate that cleavage is most likely complete on a picosecond or subpicosecond time scale.

Abstract
DNA is one of the prime molecules, and its stability is of utmost importance for proper functioning and existence of all living systems. Genotoxic chemicals and radiations exert adverse effects on genome stability. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) (mainly UV-B: 280-315 nm) is one of the powerful agents that can alter the normal state of life by inducing a variety of mutagenic and cytotoxic DNA lesions such as cyclobutane-pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), 6-4 photoproducts (6-4PPs), and their Dewar valence isomers as well as DNA strand breaks by interfering the genome integrity. To counteract these lesions, organisms have developed a number of highly conserved repair mechanisms such as photoreactivation, base excision repair (BER), nucleotide excision repair (NER), and mismatch repair (MMR). Additionally, double-strand break repair (by homologous recombination and nonhomologous end joining), SOS response, cell-cycle checkpoints, and programmed cell death (apoptosis) are also operative in various organisms with the expense of specific gene products. This review deals with UV-induced alterations in DNA and its maintenance by various repair mechanisms.

Abstract
It was recently shown that thymine dimers in the all-thymine oligonucleotide (dT)(18) are fully formed in <1 ps after ultraviolet excitation. The speed and low quantum yield of this reaction suggest that only a small fraction of the conformers of this structurally disordered oligonucleotide are in a position to react at the instant of photon absorption. In this work, we explore the hypothesis that conventional molecular dynamics simulations can be used to predict the yield of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers in DNA. Conformations obtained from simulations of thymidylyl-(3'-5')-thymidine in various cosolvents were classified as dimerizable or nondimerizable depending on the distance between the C5-C6 double bonds of the adjacent thymine bases and the torsion angle between them. The quantum yield of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer formation was calculated as the number of dimerizable conformations divided by the total number of conformations. The experimental quantum yields measured in the different solvents were satisfactorily reproduced using physically reasonable values for the two parameters. The mean dimerizable structure computed by averaging all of the dimerizable cis-syn conformations is structurally similar to the actual cis-syn dimer. Compared to the canonical B-form TT step, the most important structural property of a dimerizable conformation is its reduced helical twist angle of 22 degrees.

Abstract
The photochemistry of the dinucleoside monophosphate thymidylyl-(3'-5')-5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine (Tpm5dC) has been studied in aqueous solution using both 254 nm and UV-B radiation. A variety of dinucleotide photoproducts containing 5-methylcytosine (m5C) have been isolated and characterized. These include two cyclobutane dimers (CBD) (the cis-syn [c,s]and trans-syn forms), a (6-4) adduct and its related Dewar isomer, and two isomers of a product in which the m5C moiety was converted into an acrylamidine. Small amounts of thymidylyl-(3'-5')-thymidine (TpT) were also formed, presumably as a secondary photoreaction product. In addition, a photoproduct was characterized in which the m5C moiety was lost, thus generating 3'-thymidylic acid esterified with 2'-deoxyribose at the 5-hydroxyl on the sugar moiety. The c,s CBD of Tpm5dC readily undergoes deamination to form the corresponding CBD of TpT. The kinetics of this deamination process has been studied; the corresponding enthalpy and entropy of activation for the reaction have been evaluated at pH 7.4 as being, respectively, 73.4 kJ/mol and -103.5 J/K mol. Deamination was not observed for the other characterized photoproducts of Tpm5dC.

Abstract
The Watson-Crick DNA double helix is an averaged ideal of multitudinous natural sequence-directed local structural deviations. By effectively derailing normal cellular physiological processes, damaged bases can induce noncanonical irregularities in the local structure of DNA if not efficiently repaired. Pyrimidine bases, especially thymine, are prone to dimerization when exposed to ultraviolet light. A [2 + 2] photocyclo-addition between adjacent thymine bases predominantly produces the cis-syn photodimer. These lesions, implicated in skin cancer, bend DNA by approximately 30 degrees due to their structural and conformational changes. Such changes in molecular properties can be detected by differential quenching of CdS nanoparticle luminescence and by surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy on metal nanoparticle substrates.

Abstract
DNA and RNA hairpins, which represent well-folded oligonucleotide structures, were irradiated and the amount of damaged hairpins was directly quantified by using ion-exchange HPLC. The types of photoproducts formed in the hairpins were determined by ESI-HPLC-MS/MS experiments. Irradiation of hairpins with systematically varied sequences and conformations (A versus B) revealed remarkable differences regarding the amount of photolesions formed. UV-damage formation is, therefore, a strongly sequence and conformation dependent process.

Abstract
UVB radiation-induced formation of dimeric photoproducts at bipyrimidine sites within DNA has been unambiguously associated with the lethal and mutagenic properties of sunlight. The main lesions include the cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and the pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone adducts. The latter compounds have been shown in model systems to be converted into their Dewar valence isomers upon exposure to UVB light. A new direct assay, based on the use of liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, is now available to simultaneously detect each of the thymine photoproducts. It was applied to the determination of the yields of formation of the thymine lesions within both isolated and cellular DNA exposed to either UVC or UVB radiation. The cis-syn cyclobutane thymine dimer was found to be the major photoproduct within cellular DNA, whereas the related (6-4) adduct was produced in an approximately 8-fold lower yield. Interestingly, the corresponding Dewar valence isomer could not be detected upon exposure of human cells to biologically relevant doses of UVB radiation.

Abstract
Far-UV-induced formation of dimeric pyrimidine photoproducts within DNA is a major cause of the carcinogenic effects of solar light. The chemical structure of this class of lesion has been mostly determined by studies on model compounds. The present work is aimed at providing mass spectrometry data on the thymine-thymine photoproducts, including the diastereoisomers of the cyclobutane dimer, the (6-4) adduct, the related Dewar valence isomer and the spore photoproduct. Fragmentation mass spectra of the modified bases, nucleosides, dinucleoside monophosphates and dinucleotides were recorded following electrospray ionization with either triple-quadrupolar or ion-trap detection. The results showed differences in fragmentation pattern between the different types of photoproducts. In addition, a drastic effect of the diastereoisometry was observed for the cyclobutane dimers. A sensitive detection technique has been developed for the analysis of dinucleoside monophosphate photoproducts by high-performance liquid chromatography associated with mass spectrometry in the negative mode with multiple reaction-monitoring detection.

Abstract
The solution structures of a duplex DNA dodecamer containing a cis-syn cyclobutane thymine dimer d(GCACGAAT[cs]TAAG).d(CTTAATTCG TGC) and its native parent sequence were determined using NMR data collected at 750 MHz. The dodecamer sequence corresponds to the section of a site-specific cis-syn dimer containing 49-mer that was found to be the binding site for the dimer-specific T4 denV endonuclease V repair enzyme by chemical and enzymatic footprinting experiments. Structures of both sequences were derived from NOE restrained molecular dynamics/simulated annealing calculations using a fixed outer layer of water and an inner dynamic layer of water with sodium counterions. The resulting structures reveal a subtle distortion to the phosphodiester backbone in the dimer-containing sequence which includes a BII phosphate at the T9pA10 junction immediately 3' to the dimer. The BII phosphate, established experimentally by analysis of the 31P chemical shifts and interpretation of the 3JP-H3' values using an optimized Karplus relationship, enables the DNA helix to accommodate the dimer by destacking the base 3' to the dimer. Furthermore, the structures provide explanations for the unusually shifted T8-N3H imino, A16-H2 and T8-Me proton resonances and T9pA10 (31)P NMR resonance and are consistent with bending, unwinding, and thermodynamic data. The implications of the structural data for the mechanism by which cis-syn dimers are recognized by repair enzymes and bypassed by DNA polymerases are also discussed.

Abstract
The (6-4) adducts and their Dewar isomers play an important role in cytotoxicity and mutation in skin cells exposed to sunlight. Structural study of the DNA duplex containing a site-specific photoproduct is an essential step toward understanding the molecular mechanism of the mutagenesis and the repair activity of UV-irradiated DNA. Here we use 1H NMR spectroscopy and full relaxation matrix refinement to investigate the solution structure of the duplex Dewar decamer. We find that the isomerization of the (6-4) adduct to its Dewar form induces a substantial change in overall structure of the oligonucleotide duplex. Contrasting base stacking of two lesion sites results in a large difference in the structural impacts induced by the two photoproducts, such as differential disruption of hydrogen bonding at the lesion sites and overall helical bending of 44 degrees by the (6-4) lesion and 21 degrees by the Dewar lesion.

Abstract
Cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone adducts represent the two major classes of far-UV-induced DNA photoproducts. Because of the lack of appropriate detection methods for each individual photoproduct, little is known about the effect of the sequence on their formation. In the present work, the photoproduct distribution obtained upon exposure of a series of dinucleoside monophosphates to 254 nm light was determined. In the latter model compounds, the presence of a cytosine, located at either the 5'- or the 3'-side of a thymine moiety, led to the preferential formation of (6-4) adducts, whereas the cis-syn cyclobutane dimer was the main thymine-thymine photoproduct. In contrast, the yield of dimeric photoproducts, and particularly of (6-4) photoadducts, was very low upon irradiation of the cytosine-cytosine dinucleoside monophosphate. However, substitution of cytosine by uracil led to an increase in the yield of (6-4) photoproduct. It was also shown that the presence of a phosphate group at the 5'- end of a thymine-thymine dinucleoside monophosphate does not modify the photoproduct distribution. As an extension of the studies on dinucleoside monophosphates, the trinucleotide TpdCpT was used as a more relevant DNA model. The yields of formation of the thymine-cytosine and cytosine-thymine (6-4) photoproducts were in a 5:1 ratio, very close to the value obtained upon photolysis of the related dinucleoside monophosphates. The characterization of the two TpdCpT (6-4) adducts was based on 1H NMR, UV and mass spectroscopy analyses. Additional evidence for the structures was inferred from the analysis of the enzymatic digestion products of the (6-4) adducts of TpdCpT with phosphodiesterases. The latter enzymes were shown to induce the quantitative release of the photoproduct as a modified dinucleoside monophosphate in a highly sequence-specific manner.

The single-stranded deoxynucleotide decamer containing a site-specific Dewar valence isomer of the (6-4) adduct of thymidylyl (3'-->5')-thymidine was generated by direct photolysis of d(CGCATTACGC) with UV-B and UV-C irradiation.

While the eight of the ten complementary nucleotides form Watson-Crick-type hydrogen bonding, the 5'-TpT-3' bases of the Dewar lesion show no evidence of complementary hydrogen bonding formation to each other. The Dewar covalent linkage for the adjacent pyrimidine base leads to unusual base stacking, which is different from that of normal B-DNA. Unusual NOEs indicate that the formation of a Dewar photoproduct in the B-DNA duplex is likely to alter its local and global structures. Also, detailed NMR data show that the base pairing and stacking of the Dewar-photoproduct-containing decamer duplex differ from that of the (6-4)-adduct-containing decamer duplex, suggesting that isomerization of the (6-4) adduct to its Dewar form induces a substantial change in the structure of the oligonucleotide duplex.

Abstract
The relative biological importance of cis--syn cyclobutane dimer and pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoadduct ([6-4] photoadduct) appears to be dependent on the biological species, dipyrimidine sites and local conformational variation induced at the damaged sites. The single-strained deoxynucleotide 10-mers containing the site-specific (6-4) adduct or cis--syn cyclobutane dimer of thymidylyl(3'-->5')-thymidine were generated by direct photolysis of d(CGCATTACGC) with UVC (220-260 nm) irradiation or UVB (260-320 nm) photosensitization. Three-dimensional structures of the duplex cis--syn and (6-4) decamers of d(CGCATTACGC)xd(GCGTAATGCG) were determined by NMR spectroscopy and the relaxation matrix refinement method. The NMR data and structural calculations establish that Watson-Crick base pairing is still intact at the cis--syn dimer site while the hydrogen bonding is absent at the 3'-side of the (6-4) lesion where the T-->C transition mutation is predominantly targeted. Overall conformation of the duplex cis--syn decamer was B-DNA and produced a 9 degree bending in the DNA helix, but a distinctive base orientation of the (6-4) lesion provided a structural basis leading to 44 degree helical bending. The observed local structure and conformational rigidity at the (6-4) adduct of the thymidylyl(3'-5')-thymidine (T-T [6-4]) lesion site suggest the potential absence of hydrogen bonding at the 3' sides of the (6-4) lesion with a substituted nucleotide during replication under SOS conditions. Contrasting structural distortions induced ny the T-T (6-4) adduct with respect to the T-T cis--syn cyclobutane pyrimidine photodimer may explain the large differences in mutation spectrum and repair activities between them.

Abstract
The far-UV photochemistry of 5-methylcytosine, a minor DNA base, was studied in three dinucleoside monophosphates, including m5dCpT, Tpm5dC, and m5dCpdC. The model compounds were exposed to 254-nm radiation, and the resulting photoproducts were isolated by reverse-phase HPLC and characterized as cyclobutane dimers, (6-4) adducts, and the related Dewar valence isomers by UV, mass, and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The rate of formation of the different photoproducts was compared with those obtained by photolysis of TpT and the corresponding cytosine dinucleoside monophosphates, including dCpT, TpdC, and dCpdC. The formation of deaminated m5dC-containing photoproducts was observed in each of the far-UV irradiated solution of m5dCpT, Tpm5dC, and m5dCpdC. They were shown to be generated mainly through a photochemical process since methylation of the C5 atom of the cytosine ring appeared to dramatically decrease the deamination rate of the C5-C6 saturated photoproducts.

Abstract
Stacking between aromatic amino acids and nucleic acid bases may play an important role in the interaction of enzymes with nucleic acid substrates. In such circumstances, disruption of base aromaticity would be expected to decrease enzyme activity on the modified substrates. We have examined the requirement for DNA base aromaticity of five enzymes that act on single-stranded DNA, T4 polynucleotide kinase, nucleases P1 and S1, and snake venom and calf spleen phosphodiesterases, by comparing their kinetics of reaction with a series of dinucleoside monophosphates containing thymidine or a ring-saturated derivative. The modified substrates contained either cis-5R,6S-di-hydro-5,6-dihydroxythymidine (thymidine glycol) or a mixture of the 5R and 5S isomers of 5,6-dihydrothymidine. It was observed that for all the enzymes, except snake venom phosphodiesterase, the parent molecules were better substrates than the dihydrothymidine derivatives, while the thymidine glycol compounds were significantly poorer substrates. Snake venom phosphodiesterase acted on the unmodified and dihydrothymidine molecules at almost the same rate. These results imply that for all the remaining enzymes base aromaticity is a factor in enzyme-substrate interaction, but that additional factors must contribute to the poorer substrate capacity of the thymidine glycol compounds. The influence of the stereochemistry of the dihydrothymidine derivatives was also investigated. We observed that nuclease P1 and S1 hydrolysed the molecules containing 5R-dihydrothymidine approximately 50-times faster than those containing the S-isomer. The other enzymes displayed no measurable stereospecificity.

Abstract
To study the chemical and biochemical influence of loss of base aromaticity, dinucleoside monophosphates containing cis-5R,6S-thymidine glycol (Tg) and 5R and 5S 5,6-dihydrothymidine (Th) were prepared from d-ApT and d-TpA by KMnO4 oxidation and rhodium-catalysed hydrogenation, respectively. One and two dimensional 1H NMR techniques were used to characterize the solution conformation of each of the modified dinucleoside monophosphates for comparison with the unmodified compounds. Coupling constant data show that all sugar moieties adopt a predominantly 2'-endo conformation. Estimates of proton-proton distances from two-dimensional NOE experiments reveal that most of the glycosidic bonds prefer the anti conformation. Analysis of the C5'-C4' (gamma) torsion angle of the hydroxymethyl group using 3JH4'H5' and 3JH4'H5" data indicate that these modifications to thymine have little effect on the gamma conformer populations. Although, in general, additions at C5 and C6 of thymine in d-ApT and d-TpA profoundly distort the pyrimidine, they do not otherwise significantly alter the conformation of these compounds relative to the unsubstituted dinucleoside monophosphates. The one exception is the thymine glycol of d-TgpA, which appears to have a higher syn population than the parent compound.

Abstract
Far-UV irradiation of 2'-deoxycytidylyl-(3'-5')-thymidine (dCpT) gave rise to the pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone adduct and its Dewar valence isomer as the main photoproducts. The absolute configuration of the former adduct was determined and its photoisomerization studied. A comparison of the alkali lability of both compounds showed that hydrolysis of the phosphodiester bond occurs for the Dewar valence isomer but not for its (6-4) precursor. In addition, the trans-syn and cis-syn cyclobutane dimers of dCpT were obtained by acetophenone photosensitization and characterized. Finally, the deamination rate constants for this series of compounds were shown to be dramatically influenced by the nature and the configuration of the photoproducts.

Abstract
The formation of the Dewar valence isomer of the pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoadduct of thymidylyl-(3'-5')-thymidine monophosphate (TpT) was investigated under different irradiation conditions. This photoproduct was generated on exposure of TpT to far-UV radiation. However, no detectable amount of the Dewar isomer or its precursor (pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoadduct) was observed following acetone photosensitization of TpT. The Dewar valence isomer was much more unstable than the pyrimidine(6-4)pyrimidone photoproduct when treated with hot piperidine. A detailed conformational analysis of the TpT Dewar isomer photoproduct is reported as inferred from extensive one- and two-dimensional 300 and 620 MHz proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) measurements and molecular mechanics calculations.

Abstract
Six products were isolated by reverse phase HPLC from the reaction of thymidine with osmium tetroxide. Four of the products were identified as stereoisomers of 5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy-thymidine (TG). The absolute configurations of these four compounds (from the shortest to the longest HPLC retention times) were determined by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to be (-)-trans-5S,6S-, (+)-trans-5R,6R-, (-)-cis-5R,6S-, and (+)-cis-5S,6R-5,6-dihydro-5,6-dihydroxy-thymidine. The other two products were dimers with unknown linking sites. Parameters of the mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra are reported and discussed.

Abstract
Cyclobutane-type photodimers of dinucleoside monophosphates dCpdT, dTpdC and dTpdT were prepared by ultraviolet irradiation in the presence of acetophenone as photosensitizer. The cytosine-containing derivatives were found to deaminate forming uracil products. Using one- and two-dimensional NMR, the photoproducts were characterized as cis-syn and trans-syn cyclobutane photodimers. On the basis of NOE data the structures of the cis-syn and trans-syn products of dUpdT were determined using distance-geometry and restrained-energy-minimization methods. The cis-syn structures showed (high-ANTI/SYN)/high-ANTI glycosidic linkages while the trans-syn structures were in the SYN-ANTI region. The backbone conformations of both structures were in fair agreement with the coupling-constant-data. The trans-syn structures were found to be very rigid and similar in all three products. For the three cis-syn structures more conformational freedom and more variation among the three structures was observed.

Abstract
The preparation and spectroscopic characterization of duplex decamers containing site-specific cis-syn and trans-syn thymine dimers are described. Three duplex decamers, d(CGTATTATGC).d(GCATAATACG), d(CGTAT[c,s]TATGC).d(GCATAATACG), and d(CGTAT[t,s]TATGC).d(GCATAATACG), were prepared by solid-phase phosphoramidite synthesis utilizing cis-syn and trans-syn cyclobutane thymine dimer building blocks (Taylor et al., 1987; Taylor & Brockie, 1988). NMR spectra (500 MHz 2D 1H and 202 MHz 1D 31P) were obtained in "100%" D2O at 10 degrees C, and 1D exchangeable 1H spectra were obtained in 10% D2O at 10 degrees C. 1H NMR assignments for H5, H6, H8, CH3, H1', H2', and H2" were made on the basis of standard sequential NOE assignment strategies and verified in part by DQF COSY data. Comparison of the chemical shift data suggests that the helix structure is perturbed more to the 3'-side of the cis-syn dimer and more to the 5'-side of the trans-syn dimer. Thermodynamic parameters for the helix in equilibrium coil equilibrium were obtained by two-state, all or none, analysis of the melting behavior of the duplexes. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the T5CH3 1H NMR signal gave delta H = 44 +/- 4 kcal and delta S = 132 +/- 13 eu for the trans-syn duplex. Analysis of the concentration and temperature dependence of UV spectra gave delta H = 64 +/- 6 kcal and delta S = 178 +/- 18 eu for the parent duplex and delta H = 66 +/- 7 kcal and delta S = 189 +/- 19 eu for cis-syn duplex. It was concluded that photodimerization of the dTpdT unit to give the cis-syn product causes little perturbation of the DNA whereas dimerization to give the trans-syn product causes much greater perturbation, possibly in the form of a kink or dislocation at the 5'-side of the dimer.

Abstract
One and two dimensional NMR techniques have been used together with molecular modelling to obtain the solution structure for the photoproduct d(TpA)*. The NMR data confirm that the cyclobutane linkage is formed between the bonds thymine C6-C5 and adenine C5-C6. The 2D NOE data are used as constraints in a distance geometry calculation. The structures obtained show a trans-syn cyclobutane linkage and the glycosidic angles are SYN and ANTI for thymidine and deoxyadenosine, respectively. The coupling constant data are used to check the backbone torsion angles of the obtained structures. Typical torsion angles are a gamma+ and beta t for the deoxyadenosine residue. A free molecular dynamics simulation of a trans-syn d(TpA) photoproduct confirmed all these structural characteristics.

Abstract
Positive and negative plasma desorption (PD) mass spectra of the di-deoxyribonucleoside monophosphate d(TpT) and of its biologically relevant ultraviolet-induced intramolecular photodimers are examined and discussed. The photodimers which were analysed by PD mass spectrometry include the cis-syn and trans-syn cyclobutyl isomers d(T[p]T), the pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoadduct (6-4)d(TpT) and its Dewar valence isomer. Molecular ions, quasi-molecular ions and several fragment ions are observed in all cases. It is shown that, despite the absence of mass differences between these dinucleoside monophosphates, the fragmentation pattern differs significantly between the two main classes: cyclobutane dimers and (6-4) adducts. PD mass spectrometry can therefore be envisaged for characterizing their formation within short DNA fragments.
