Abstract
Interactions of DNA with structural proteins such as histones, regulatory proteins, and enzymes play a crucial role in major cellular processes such as transcription, replication and repair. The in vivo mapping and characterization of the binding sites of the involved biomolecules are of primary importance for a better understanding of genomic deployment that is implicated in tissue and developmental stage-specific gene expression regulation. The most powerful and commonly used approach to date is immunoprecipitation of chemically cross-linked chromatin (XChIP) coupled with sequencing analysis (ChIP-seq). While the resolution and the sensitivity of the high-throughput sequencing techniques have been constantly improved little progress has been achieved in the crosslinking step. Because of its low efficiency the use of the conventional UVC lamps remains very limited while the formaldehyde method was established as the "gold standard" crosslinking agent. Efficient biphotonic crosslinking of directly interacting nucleic acid-protein complexes by a single short UV laser pulse has been introduced as an innovative technique for overcoming limitations of conventionally used chemical and photochemical approaches. In this survey, the main available methods including the laser approach are critically reviewed for their ability to generate DNA-protein crosslinks in vitro model systems and cells.

Abstract
Chemically modified biomacromolecules-i.e., proteins, nucleic acids, glycans, and lipids-have become crucial tools in chemical biology. They are extensively used not only to elucidate cellular processes but also in industrial applications, particularly in the context of biopharmaceuticals. In order to enable maximum scope for optimization, it is pivotal to have a diverse array of biomacromolecule modification methods at one's disposal. Chemistry has driven many significant advances in this area, and especially recently, numerous novel visible-light-induced photochemical approaches have emerged. In these reactions, light serves as an external source of energy, enabling access to highly reactive intermediates under exceedingly mild conditions and with exquisite spatiotemporal control. While UV-induced transformations on biomacromolecules date back decades, visible light has the unmistakable advantage of being considerably more biocompatible, and a spectrum of visible-light-driven methods is now available, chiefly for proteins and nucleic acids. This review will discuss modifications of native functional groups (FGs), including functionalization, labeling, and cross-linking techniques as well as the utility of oxidative degradation mediated by photochemically generated reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, transformations at non-native, bioorthogonal FGs on biomacromolecules will be addressed, including photoclick chemistry and DNA-encoded library synthesis as well as methods that allow manipulation of the activity of a biomacromolecule.

Abstract
Photosensitization reactions have been demonstrated to be largely responsible for the deleterious biological effects of UV and visible radiation, as well as for the curative actions of photomedicine. A large number of endogenous and exogenous photosensitizers, biological targets and mechanisms have been reported in the past few decades. Evolving from the original definitions of the type I and type II photosensitized oxidations, we now provide physicochemical frameworks, classifications and key examples of these mechanisms in order to organize, interpret and understand the vast information available in the literature and the new reports, which are in vigorous growth. This review surveys in an extended manner all identified photosensitization mechanisms of the major biomolecule groups such as nucleic acids, proteins, lipids bridging the gap with the subsequent biological processes. Also described are the effects of photosensitization in cells in which UVA and UVB irradiation triggers enzyme activation with the subsequent delayed generation of superoxide anion radical and nitric oxide. Definitions of photosensitized reactions are identified in biomolecules with key insights into cells and tissues.

Abstract
Imidazolone (Iz) is one of the many products resulting from oxidative damage to DNA. Three pathways for the formation of Iz and related degradation products have been studied by density functional theory using the ωB97XD functional with the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set and SMD implicit water solvation plus a small number of explicit water molecules positioned to help stabilize charged species and facilitate reaction steps. The first pathway starts with guanine radical and the addition of superoxide at C5. Endoperoxide formation was calculated to have slightly lower barriers than diol formation. The next steps are pyrimidine ring opening and decarboxylation. Ring migration then proceeds via an acyclic intermediate rather than a bicyclic intermediate and is followed by formamide loss to yield Iz. The second pathway starts with 8oxoG and proceeds via C5 superoxide addition and diol formation to a relatively stable intermediate, oxidized guanidinohydantoin (Ghox). The barriers for hydroxide ion addition to Ghox are much lower than for water addition and should yield more Iz and parabanic acid at higher pH. The third pathway starts with 8-hydroxy guanine radical formed by hydroxyl radical addition to C8 of guanine or water addition to C8 of guanine radical. Superoxide addition at C5 is followed by diol formation, ring opening and decarboxylation similar to pathways 1 and 2, subsequently leading to Iz formation. The calculated pathways are in good agreement with experimental observations.

Abstract
8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine(8-oxodGuo) is a common primary product of cellular oxidative DNA damage. 8-OxodGuo is more readily oxidized than 2'-deoxyguanosine (dG); a two-electron oxidation generates a highly reactive intermediate (OGox), which forms covalent adducts with nucleophiles, including OH-, free amines, and the side chains of amino acids such as lysine. We determined here that K3Fe(CN)6 oxidation of 8-oxodGuo in nucleosome core particles (NCPs) produces high yields, quantitative (i.e., 100%) in some cases, of DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs). The efficiency of DPC formation was closely related to 8-oxodGuo base pairing and location within the NCP and was only slightly decreased by adding the DNA-protective polyamine spermine to the system. Using NCPs that contained histone mutants, we determined that DPCs result predominantly from OGox trapping by the N-terminal histone amine. The DPCs were stable under physiological conditions and therefore could have important biological consequences. For instance, the essentially quantitative yield of DPCs at some positions within NCPs would reduce the yield of the mutagenic DNA lesions spiroiminodihydantoin and guanidinohydantoin produced from the common intermediate OGox, which in turn would affect mutation signatures of oxidative stress in a position-dependent manner. In summary, our findings indicate that site-specific incorporation of 8-oxodGuo into NCPs, followed by its oxidation, leads to DPCs with an efficiency depending on 8-oxodGuo location and orientation. Given that 8-oxodGuo formation is widespread in genomic DNA and that DPC formation is highly efficient, DPCs may occur in eukaryotic cells and may affect several important biological processes.

Abstract
Oxidation of guanine in the presence of lysine can lead to guanine-lysine cross-links. The ratio of the C4, C5 and C8 crosslinks depends on the manner of oxidation. Type II photosensitizers such as Rose Bengal and methylene blue can generate singlet oxygen, which leads to a different ratio of products than oxidation by type I photosensitizers or by one electron oxidants. Modeling reactions of singlet oxygen can be quite challenging. Reactions have been explored using CASSCF, NEVPT2, DFT, CCSD(T), and BD(T) calculations with SMD implicit solvation. The spin contamination in open-shell calculations were corrected by Yamaguchi's approximate spin projection method. The addition of singlet oxygen to guanine to form guanine endo- peroxide proceeds step-wise via a zwitterionic peroxyl intermediate. The subsequent barrier for ring closure is smaller than the initial barrier for singlet oxygen addition. Ring opening of the endoperoxide by protonation at C4-O is followed by loss of a proton from C8 and dehydration to produce 8-oxoGox . The addition of lysine (modelled by methylamine) or water across the C5=N7 double bond of 8-oxoGox is followed by acyl migration to form the final spiro products. The barrier for methylamine addition is significantly lower than for water addition and should be the dominant reaction channel. These results are in good agreement with the experimental results for the formation of guanine-lysine cross-links by oxidation by type II photosensitizers.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation produces various types of DNA lesions, such as base damage, single-strand breaks, double-strand breaks (DSBs), and DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs). Of these, DSBs are the most critical lesions underlying the lethal effects of ionizing radiation. With DPCs, proteins covalently trapped in DNA constitute strong roadblocks to replication and transcription machineries, and hence can be lethal to cells. The formation of DPCs by ionizing radiation is promoted in the absence of oxygen, whereas that of DSBs is retarded. Accordingly, the contribution of DPCs to the lethal events in irradiated cells may not be negligible for hypoxic cells, such as those present in tumors. However, the role of DPCs in the lethal effects of ionizing radiation remains largely equivocal. In the present study, normoxic and hypoxic mouse tumors were irradiated with X-rays [low linear energy transfer (LET) radiation] and carbon (C)-ion beams (high LET radiation), and the resulting induction of DPCs and DSBs and their removal from the genome were analyzed. X-rays and C-ion beams produced more DPCs in hypoxic tumors than in normoxic tumors. Interestingly, the yield of DPCs was slightly but statistically significantly greater (1.3- to 1.5-fold) for C-ion beams than for X-rays. Both X-rays and C-ion beams generated two types of DPC that differed according to their rate of removal from the genome. This was also the case for DSBs. The half-lives of the rapidly removed components of DPCs and DSBs were similar (<1 h), but those of the slowly removed components of DPCs and DSBs were markedly different (3.9-5 h for DSBs versus 63-70 h for DPCs). The long half-life and abundance of the slowly removed DPCs render them persistent in DNA, which may impede DNA transactions and confer deleterious effects on cells in conjunction with DSBs.

Abstract
The use of visible light to produce highly selective and potent drugs through photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds much potential in the treatment of cancer. PDT agents can be designed to follow an O2-dependent mechanism by producing highly reactive species such as 1O2 and/or an O2 independent mechanism through processes such as excited state electron transfer, covalent binding to DNA or photoinduced drug delivery. Ru(II)-polypyridyl and Rh2(II,II) complexes represent an important class of compounds that can be tailored to exhibit desired photophysical properties and photochemical reactivity by judicious selection of the ligand set. Complexes with relatively long-lived excited states and planar, intercalating ligands localize on the DNA strand and photocleave DNA through 1O2 production or guanine oxidation by the excited state of the chromophore. Photoinduced ligand substitution occurs through the population of triplet metal centered (3MC) excited states and facilitates covalent binding of the metal complex to DNA in a mode similar to cisplatin. Ligand photodissociation also provides a route to selective drug delivery. The ability to construct metal complexes with desired light absorbing and excited state properties by ligand variation enables the design of PDT agents that can potentially provide combination therapy from a single metal complex.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (OH) and one-electron oxidants that may be endogenously formed through oxidative metabolism, phagocytosis, inflammation and pathological conditions constitute the main sources of oxidatively generated damage to cellular DNA. It is worth mentioning that exposure of cells to exogenous physical agents (UV light, high intensity UV laser, ionizing radiation) and chemicals may also induce oxidatively generated damage to DNA. Emphasis is placed in this short review article on the mechanistic aspects of OH and one-electron oxidant-mediated formation of single and more complex damage (tandem lesions, intra- and interstrand cross-links, DNA-protein cross-links) in cellular DNA arising from one radical hit. This concerns DNA modifications that have been accurately measured using suitable analytical methods such as high performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Evidence is provided that OH and one-electron oxidants after generating neutral radicals and base radical cations respectively may partly induce common degradation pathways. In addition, selective oxidative reactions giving rise to specific degradation products of OH and one-electron oxidation reactions that can be used as representative biomarkers of these oxidants have been identified.

Since the indirect effect of ionizing radiation mediated by hydroxyl radical is predominant in cells, efforts have been made to selectively ionize bases using suitable one-electron oxidants that consist among others of high intensity UVC laser pulses. Thus, the main oxidation product in cellular DNA was found to be 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine as a result of direct bi-photonic ionization of guanine bases and indirect formation of guanine radical cations through hole transfer reactions from other base radical cations. The formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine and other purine and pyrimidine degradation products was rationalized in terms of the initial generation of related radical cations followed by either hydration or deprotonation reactions in agreement with mechanistic pathways inferred from detailed mechanistic studies. The guanine radical cation has been shown to be implicated in three other nucleophilic additions that give rise to DNA-protein and DNA-DNA cross-links in model systems. Evidence was recently provided for the occurrence of these three reactions in cellular DNA. CONCLUSION There is growing evidence that one-electron oxidation reactions of nucleobases whose mechanisms have been characterized in model studies involving aqueous solutions take place in a similar way in cells. It may also be pointed out that the above cross-linked lesions are only produced from the guanine radical cation and may be considered as diagnostic products of the direct effect of ionizing radiation.

Abstract
The dose-dependent variation of oxidative cellular damage imposed by UVB exposure in a representative estuarine bacterial strain, Pseudomonas sp. NT5I1.2B, was studied at different growth phases (mid-exponential, late-exponential, and stationary), growth temperatures (15 °C and 25 °C) and growth media (nutrient-rich Tryptic Soy Broth [TSB] and nutrient-poor M9). Survival and markers of oxidative damage (lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, DNA strand breakage, and DNA-protein cross-links) were monitored during exposure to increasing UVB doses (0-60 kJ m(-2)). Oxidative damage did not follow a clear linear dose-dependent pattern, particularly at high UVB doses (>10 kJ m(-2)), suggesting a dynamic interaction between damage induction and repair during irradiation and/or saturation of oxidative damage. Survival of stationary phase cells generally exceeded that of exponential phase cells by up to 33.5 times; the latter displayed enhanced levels of DNA-protein cross-links (up to 15.6-fold) and protein carbonylation (up to 6.0-fold). Survival of mid-exponential phase cells was generally higher at 15 °C than at 25 °C (up to 6.6-fold), which was accompanied by lower levels of DNA strand breaks (up to 4000-fold), suggesting a temperature effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and/or ROS interaction with cellular targets. Survival under medium-high UVB doses (>10 kJ m(-2)) was generally higher (up to 5.4-fold) in cells grown in TSB than in M9. These results highlight the influence of growth conditions preceding irradiation on the extent of oxidative damage induced by UVB exposure in bacteria.

Abstract
The survey focuses on recent aspects of photochemical reactions to cellular DNA that are implicated through the predominant formation of mostly bipyrimidine photoproducts in deleterious effects of human exposure to sunlight. Recent developments in analytical methods have allowed accurate and quantitative measurements of the main DNA photoproducts in cells and human skin. Highly mutagenic CC and CT bipyrimidine photoproducts, including cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts (6-4PPs) are generated in low yields with respect to TT and TC photoproducts. Another striking finding deals with the formation of Dewar valence isomers, the third class of bipyrimidine photoproducts that is accounted for by UVA-mediated isomerization of initially UVB generated 6-4PPs. Cyclobutadithymine (T<>T) has been unambiguously shown to be involved in the genotoxicity of UVA radiation. Thus, T<>T is formed in UVA-irradiated cellular DNA according to a direct excitation mechanism with a higher efficiency than oxidatively generated DNA damage that arises mostly through the Type II photosensitization mechanism. C<>C and C<>T are repaired at rates intermediate between those of T<>T and 6-4TT. Evidence has been also provided for the occurrence of photosensitized reactions mediated by exogenous agents that act either in an independent way or through photodynamic effects.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest for oxidatively generated complex lesions that are potentially more detrimental than single oxidized nucleobases. In this survey, the recently available information on the formation and processing of several classes of complex DNA damage formed upon one radical hit including mostly hydroxyl radical and one-electron oxidants is critically reviewed. The modifications include tandem base lesions, DNA-protein cross-links and intrastrand (purine 5',8-cyclonucleosides, adjacent base cross-links) and interstrand cross-links. Information is also provided on clustered lesions produced essentially by exposure of cells to ionizing radiation and high energetic heavy ions through the involvement of multiple radical events that induce several lesions DNA in a close spatial vicinity. These consist mainly of double strand breaks (DSBs) and non-DSB clustered lesions that are referred as to oxidatively generated clustered DNA lesions (OCDLs).

Abstract
Cytochrome c (cyt c) derivatives modified with a platinum(II) complex at the lysine residue, cyt c(III)-[Pt(bpy)(dapap)](1) {bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, and dapap = 3-(2,3-diaminopropionylamino)propionic acid}, have been prepared. The modified residues are Lys8, Lys13, Lys55, Lys60, Lys73, and Lys88. In the case of the cyt c(III)-[Pt(bpy)(dapap)](1) dyad, the photoexcited singlet state of (1)([Pt(bpy)(dapap)](1))* was quenched by the heme Fe(III) moiety through the intramolecular photoinduced energy-transfer reaction via a through-space mechanism. Next, in the presence of calf thymus (CT)-DNA, the DNA-responsive fluorescence properties of cyt c(III)-[Pt(bpy)(dapap)](1) isomers were investigated. The order of the obtained binding constants between the cyt c(III)-[Pt(bpy)(dapap)](1) isomer and CT-DNA in an aqueous solution suggested that the electrostatic interaction is one of the important factors to stabilize the cyt c-DNA complex. Finally, we discussed the rotational motion of the [Pt(bpy)(dapap)](2+) moiety at the surface of cyt c by fluorescence anisotropy measurement. The increase in the anisotropy parameter, r, for each cyt c isomer clearly revealed that the noncovalent recognition of the [Pt(bpy)(dapap)](2+) moiety by CT-DNA is an essential event in the formation of the cyt c-DNA complex and generation of DNA-sensitive fluorescence signals.

Abstract
The transport of charge through the DNA base-pair stack offers a route to carry out redox chemistry at a distance. Here we describe characteristics of this chemistry that have been elucidated and how this chemistry may be utilized within the cell. The shallow distance dependence associated with these redox reactions permits DNA-mediated signaling over long molecular distances in the genome and facilitates the activation of redox-sensitive transcription factors globally in response to oxidative stress. The long-range funneling of oxidative damage to sites of low oxidation potential in the genome also may provide a means of protection within the cell. Furthermore, the sensitivity of DNA charge transport to perturbations in base-pair stacking, as may arise with base lesions and mismatches, may be used as a route to scan the genome for damage as a first step in DNA repair. Thus, the ability of double-helical DNA in mediating redox chemistry at a distance provides a natural mechanism for redox sensing and signaling in the genome.

Abstract
A novel tris heteroleptic dipyridophenazine complex of ruthenium(II), [{Ru(phen)(dppz)(bpy'-his)}{Ru(NH3)5}]5+, containing a covalently tethered ruthenium pentammine quencher coordinated through a bridging histidine has been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically and biochemically in a DNA environment and in organic solvent. Steady-state and time-resolved luminescence measurements indicate that the tethered Ru complex is quenched relative to the parent complexes [Ru(phen)(dppz)(bpy')]2+ and [Ru(phen)(dppz)(bpy'-his)]2+ in DNA and acetonitrile, consistent with intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer. Intercalated into guanine-containing DNA, [{Ru(phen)(dppz)(bpy'-his)}{Ru(NH3)5}]5+, upon excitation and intramolecular quenching, is capable of injecting charge into the duplex based upon the EPR detection of guanine radicals. DNA-mediated charge transport is also indicated using a kinetically fast cyclopropylamine-substituted base as an electron hole trap. Guanine damage is not observed, however, in measurements using the guanine radical as the kinetically slower hole trap, indicating that back electron-transfer reactions are competitive with guanine oxidation. Moreover, transient absorption measurements reveal a novel photophysical reaction pathway for [{Ru(phen)(dppz)(bpy'-his)}{Ru(NH3)5}]5+ in the presence of DNA that is competitive with the intramolecular flash-quench process. These results illustrate the remarkably rich redox chemistry that can occur within a bimolecular ruthenium complex intercalated in duplex DNA.

Abstract
Living systems have efficient degradative pathways for dealing with the fact that reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from cellular metabolism and the environment oxidatively damage proteins and DNA. But aggregation and cross-linking can occur as well, leading to a series of problems including disruption of cellular regulation, mutations, and even cell death. The mechanism(s) by which protein aggregation occurs and the macromolecular species involved are poorly understood. In the study reported here, evidence is provided for a new type of aggregate between proteins and RNA in ribosomes. While studying the effect of oxidative stress induced in the yeast proteome it was noted that ribosomal proteins were widely oxidized. Eighty six percent of the proteins in yeast ribosomes were found to be carbonylated after stressing yeast cell cultures with hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, many of these proteins appeared to be cross-linked based on their coelution patterns during RPC separation. Since they were not in direct contact, it was not clear how this could occur unless it was through the RNA separating them in the ribosome. This was confirmed in a multiple-step process, the first being derivatization of all carbonylated proteins in cell lysates with biotin hydrazide through Schiff base formation. Following reduction of Schiff bases with sodium cyanoborohydride, biotinylated proteins were selected from cell lysates with avidin affinity chromatography. Oxidized proteins thus captured were then selected again using boronate affinity chromatography to capture vicinal diol-containing proteins. This would include proteins cross-linked to an RNA fragment containing a ribose residue with 2',3'-hydroxyl groups. Some glycoproteins would also be selected by this process. LC/MS/MS analyses of tryptic peptides derived from proteins captured by this process along with MASCOT searches resulted in the identification of 37 ribosomal proteins that appear to be cross-linked to RNA. Aggregation of proteins with ribosomal RNA has not been previously reported. The probable impact of this phenomenon cells is to diminish the protein synthesis capacity.

Abstract
One-electron guanine oxidation in DNA has been investigated in anionic reverse micelles (RMs). A photochemical method for generating Ru3+ from the ruthenium polypyridyl complex tris(2-2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) chloride ([Ru(bpy)3]Cl2) is combined with high-resolution polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) to quantify piperidine-labile guanine oxidation products. As characterized by emission spectroscopy of Ru(bpy)3(2+), the addition of DNA to RMs containing Ru(bpy)3(2+) does not perturb the environment of Ru(bpy)3(2+). The steady-state quenching efficiency of Ru(bpy)3(2+) with K3[Fe(CN)6] in buffer solution is approximately 2-fold higher than that observed in RMs. Consistent with the difference in quenching efficiency in the two media, a 1.5-fold higher yield of piperidine-labile damage products as monitored by PAGE is observed for duplex oligonucleotide in buffer vs RMs. In contrast, a 13-fold difference in the yield of PAGE-detected G oxidation products is observed when single-stranded DNA is the substrate. Circular dichroism spectra showed that single-stranded DNA undergoes a structural change in anionic RMs. This structural change is potentially due to cation-mediated adsorption of the DNA phosphates on the anionic headgroups of the RMs, leading to protection of the guanine from oxidatively generated damage.

Abstract
In principle, DNA-mediated charge transfer processes can be categorized as oxidative hole transfer and reductive electron transfer. With respect to the routes of DNA damage most of the past research has been focused on the investigation of oxidative hole transfer or transport. On the other hand, the transport or transfer of excess electrons has a large potential for biomedical applications, mainly for DNA chip technology.

Abstract
A DNA system consisting of pyrene-modified oligonucleotides and nitrobenzoate (Nb)-modified DNA-binding tripeptides has been applied to study electron-transfer processes through the DNA-peptide interface. 5-(Pyren-1-yl)-2'-deoxyuridine (Py-dU) has been used as the photoinducible charge generator. Upon excitation at 350 nm, a pyrene-like excited state (Py-dU) is formed which undergoes an electron transfer yielding the charge-separated state which is the contact ion pair Py(*)(+)-dU(*)(-). The subsequent electron shift from dU(*)(-) into the base stack competes with charge recombination and can be probed chemically by trapping the electron at the 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (Br-dU) group leading to strand cleavage which can be quantified by HPLC analysis. Several Nb-modified DNA-binding tripeptides influence these DNA-mediated electron-transfer processes as shown by fluorescence spectroscopy experiments. Fluorescence quenching can occur primarily through a reductive electron-transfer process in which the Nb group traps the electron thermodynamically from the contact ion pair Py(*)(+)-dU(*)(-). Moreover, our results indicate that, once the negative charge has been trapped on the peptide, oxidative processes from Py(*)(+) take place resulting in an enhanced and nonspecific strand degradation of the Py-dU-modified duplexes. The latter type of strand cleavage can be inhibited by the presence of tryptophane or tyrosine as part of the peptides. Most remarkably, DNA-binding tripeptides, which bear both the Nb and the tryptophan/tyrosine moiety, are able to trap both the negative and the positive charge from the contact ion pair Py(*)(+)-dU(*)(-).

Abstract
The formation of covalent cross-links between amino acid side chains and DNA bases in DNA-protein complexes is a significant pathway in oxidative damage to the genome, yet much remains to be learned about their chemical structures and mechanisms of formation. In the present study, DNA-protein cross-links (DPCs) were formed between synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides containing an 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'deoxyguanosine (OG) or an 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyadenosine (OA) nucleotide and Escherichia coli singled-stranded binding protein (SSB) under oxidative conditions. Studies with various sequences indicated that DNA homopolymers and those lacking 8-oxopurines were less reactive toward DPC formation. DPCs were formed in the presence of HOCl, peroxynitrite, and the one-electron oxidants Na(2)IrCl(6), Na(2)IrBr(6), and Na(3)Fe(CN)(6). Protein-protein cross-linking was also observed, particularly for oxidants of high reduction potential such as Na(2)IrCl(6). The adducted oligodeoxynucleotides were sensitive to hot piperidine treatment leading to strand scission at the site of cross-linking. In addition, the covalent cross-links were somewhat heat and acid labile, which may be related to the difficulties encountered in obtaining complete characterization of trypsin digests of the DPCs. However, model reactions involving the single amino acids lysine, arginine, and tyrosine, residues known to be involved in base contacts in the DNA:SSB complex, could be studied, and the adduct formed between N(alpha)-acetyllysine methyl ester and an 18-mer containing OG was tentatively characterized by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry as analogues of spiroiminodihydantoin and guanidinohydantoin. A mechanism involving nucleophilic attack of an amino acid side chain (e.g. the epsilon-amino group of lysine) at C5 of a 2-electron oxidized form of OG is proposed.

Abstract
In this work, we approach the impact of dynamic and static disorder on DNA charge transfer from a theoretical and numerical perspective. Disordered or defect geometries are either realized via molecular dynamics simulations using a classical force field or by experimentally determined DNA bulge structures. We apply a chemically specific, atomically resolved extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model to compute the energy parameters relevant to DNA charge transfer. For both models studied here, the effective donor-acceptor couplings--and hence the charge transfer rates--significantly depend upon the geometry. Dynamic disorder leads to a correlation time in this quantity of the order of 30 fs, and the transfer rates universally exhibit a broad, yet well-defined, exponential distribution. For DNA bulges, the angle characterizing the defect controls the charge transfer efficiency. The results are discussed and extensively compared to experimental findings and other calculations.

Abstract
A direct comparison of DNA charge transport (CT) with different photooxidants has been made. Photooxidants tested include the two metallointercalators, Rh(phi)(2)(bpy')(3+) and Ru(phen)(bpy')(dppz)(2+), and three organic intercalators, ethidium (Et), thionine (Th), and anthraquinone (AQ). CT has been examined through a DNA duplex containing an A(6)-tract intervening between two 5'-CGGC-3' sites with each of the photooxidants covalently tethered to one end of the DNA duplex. CT is assayed both through determination of the yield of oxidative guanine damage and, in derivative DNA assemblies, by analysis of the yield of a faster oxidative trapping reaction, ring opening of N(2)-cyclopropylguanine (d(CP)G) within the DNA duplex. We find clear differences in oxidative damage ratios at the distal versus proximal 5'-CGGC-3' sites depending upon the photooxidant employed. Importantly, nondenaturing gel electrophoresis data demonstrate the absence of any DNA aggregation by the DNA-bound intercalators. Hence, differences seen with assemblies containing various photooxidants cannot be attributed to differential aggregation. Comparisons in assemblies using different photooxidants thus reveal characteristics of the photooxidant as well as characteristics of the DNA assembly. In the series examined, the lowest distal/proximal DNA damage ratios are obtained with Ru and AQ, while, for both Rh and Et, high distal/proximal damage ratios are found. The oxidative damage yields vary in the order Ru > AQ > Rh > Et, and photooxidants that produce higher distal/proximal damage ratios have lower yields. While no oxidative DNA damage is detected using thionine as a photooxidant, oxidation is evident using the faster cyclopropylguanosine trap; here, a complex distance dependence is found. Differences observed among photooxidants as well as the complex distance dependence are attributed to differences in rates of back electron transfer (BET). Such differences are important to consider in developing mechanistic models for DNA CT.

Abstract
Finite difference schemes, named Compact Finite Difference Schemes with Spectral-like Resolution, have been used for a less crude approximation of the analytical hardness definition as the second-order derivative of the energy with respect to the electron number. The improved computational schemes, at different levels of theory, have been used to calculate global hardness values of some probe bases, traditionally classified as hard and soft on the basis of their chemical behavior, and to investigate the quantitative applicability of the HSAB principle. Exchange acid-base reactions have been used to test the HSAB principle assuming the reaction energies as a measure of the stabilization of product adducts.

Abstract
DNA-protein cross-links form when guanine undergoes a 1-electron oxidation in a flash-quench experiment, and the importance of reactive oxygen species, protein, and photosensitizer is examined here. In these experiments, a strong oxidant produced by oxidative quenching of a DNA-bound photosensitizer generates an oxidized guanine base that reacts with protein to form the covalent adduct. These cross-links are cleaved by hot piperidine and are not the result of reactive oxygen species, since neither a hydroxyl radical scavenger (mannitol) nor oxygen affects the yield of DNA-histone cross-linking, as determined via a chloroform extraction assay. The cross-linking yield depends on protein, decreasing as histone > cytochrome c > bovine serum albumin. The yield does not depend on the cytochrome oxidation state, suggesting that reduction of the guanine radical by ferrocytochrome c does not compete effectively with cross-linking. The photosensitizer strongly influences the cross-linking yield, which decreases in the order Ru(phen)(2)dppz(2+) [phen = 1,10-phenanthroline; dppz = dipyridophenazine] > Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) [bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine] > acridine orange > ethidium, in accordance with measured oxidation potentials. A long-lived transient absorption signal for ethidium dication in poly(dG-dC) confirms that guanine oxidation is inefficient for this photosensitizer. From a polyacrylamide sequencing gel of a (32)P-labeled 40-mer, all of these photosensitizers are shown to damage guanines preferentially at the 5' G of 5'-GG-3' steps, consistent with a 1-electron oxidation. Additional examination of ethidium shows that it can generate cross-links between histone and plasmid DNA (pUC19) and that the yield depends on the quencher. Altogether, these results illustrate the versatility of the flash-quench technique as a way to generate physiologically relevant DNA-protein adducts via the oxidation of guanine and expand the scope of such cross-linking reactions to include proteins that may associate only transiently with DNA.

Abstract
Short peptides have been tethered to a DNA-intercalating ruthenium complex to create a photoactivated cross-linking reagent. The ruthenium complex, [Ru(phen)(bpy')(dppz)]2+ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy' = 4-(butyric acid)-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine, and dppz = dipyridophenazine), delivers the peptide to DNA and initiates the cross-linking reaction by oxidizing DNA upon irradiation in the presence of an oxidative quencher. The tethered peptide, only five to six residues in length, forms cross-links with the oxidized site in DNA. Cross-linking was detected and studied by gel electrophoresis and through spectroscopic measurements. The ruthenium-peptide complex is luminescent when bound to DNA, and the binding constants for several intercalator-peptide conjugates were determined by luminescence titration. The composition of the peptide affects both binding affinity and the extent of cross-linking. The greatest amounts of cross-linking were observed with tethered peptides that contained positively charged residues, either lysine or arginine. To test the impact of individual residues on cross-linking, the central residue in a 5-mer peptide was substituted with seven different amino acids. Though mutation of this position had only a small effect on the extent of cross-linking, it was discovered that peptides containing Trp or Tyr gave a distinctive pattern of products in gels. In experiments using the untethered peptide and ruthenium complex, it was determined that delivery of the peptide by the ruthenium intercalator is not essential for cross-linking; peptide attachment to the metal complex can constrain cross-linking. Importantly, the cross-linking adducts produced with ruthenium-peptide conjugates are luminescent and thus provide a luminescent cross-linking probe for DNA.

Abstract
A novel Ru(II) complex possessing two sequentially linked viologen units, Ru-V(1)-V(2)(6+), was synthesized and characterized. Upon excitation of the Ru(II) unit (lambda(exc) = 532 nm, fwhm approximately 10 ns), a long-lived charge-separated (CS) state is observed (tau = 1.7 micros) by transient absorption spectroscopy. Unlike Ru(bpy)(3)(2+), which cleaves DNA upon photolysis through the formation of reactive oxygen species, such as (1)O(2) and O(2)(-), the photocleavage of plasmid DNA by Ru-V(1)-V(2)(6+) is observed both in air and under N(2) atmosphere (lambda(irr) > 395 nm).

Abstract
MutY is an Escherichia coli DNA repair enzyme that binds to 8-oxo-G:A and G:A mismatches and catalyzes the deglycosylation of the mismatched 2'-deoxyadenosine. We have applied DNA-mediated charge transport to probe the interaction of MutY with its DNA substrate. Oligonucleotides synthesized with a tethered rhodium intercalator and guanine doublets placed before and after the MutY binding site are used to assay for base flipping activity by MutY. On the basis of this assay, we find no evidence that MutY uses progressive base flipping as a means to find its binding site; protein binding does not perturb long-range DNA charge transport. DNA-mediated charge transport can be utilized to promote protein-DNA cross-linking from a distance. Long-range oxidation of 8-oxo-G within the MutY binding site using tethered rhodium intercalators promoted cross-linking and yielded information on MutY side chains that interact with this base. On the basis of photooxidative cross-linking of the wild type but not K142A mutant, it is evident that, within the protein complex, lysine 142 makes important contacts with 8-oxo-G.

Abstract
Interactions with DNA by a family of ruthenium(II) complexes bearing the dppz (dppz = dipyridophenazine) ligand or its derivatives have been examined. The complexes include Ru(bpy)(2)(dppx)(2+) (dppx = 7,8-dimethyldipyridophenazine), Ru(bpy)(2)(dpq)(2+) (dpq = dipyridoquinoxaline), and Ru(bpy)(2)(dpqC)(2+) (dpqC = dipyrido-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrophenazine). Their ground and excited state oxidation/reduction potentials have been determined using cyclic voltammetry and fluorescence spectroscopy. An intercalative binding mode has been established on the basis of luminescence enhancements in the presence of DNA, excited state quenching, fluorescence polarization values, and enantioselectivity. Oxidative damage to DNA by these complexes using the flash/quench method has been examined. A direct correlation between the amount of guanine oxidation obtained via DNA charge transport and the strength of intercalative binding was observed. Oxidative damage to DNA through DNA-mediated charge transport was also compared directly for two DNA-tethered ruthenium complexes. One contains the dppz ligand that binds avidly by intercalation, and the other contains only bpy ligands, that, while bound covalently, can only associate with the base pairs through groove binding. Long range oxidative damage was observed only with the tethered, intercalating complex. These results, taken together, all support the importance of close association and intercalation for DNA-mediated charge transport. Electronic access to the DNA base pairs, provided by intercalation of the oxidant, is a prerequisite for efficient charge transport through the DNA pi-stack.

Abstract
Eukaryotic DNA is packaged into nucleosomes, made up of 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a core of histone proteins. We used photoexcited rhodium intercalators to explore DNA charge transport within these assemblies. Although histone proteins inhibit intercalation of the rhodium complex within the core particle, they do not prevent 5'-GG-3' oxidation, the signature of oxidative charge transport through DNA. Moreover, using rhodium intercalators tethered to the 5' terminus of the DNA, we found that guanine bases within the nucleosome can be oxidized from a distance of 24 bp. Histone binding did not affect the pattern and extent of this oxidation. Therefore, although the structure of the nucleosome core particle generally protects DNA from damage by solution-borne molecules, packaging within the nucleosome does not protect DNA from charge transfer damage through the base pair stack.
