It is well established that exposure of DNA to high-energy radiation results in a variety of physical and chemical changes in DNA including strand breakage, mutation, and DNA damage. 1-16 Initially, high-energy radiation randomly ionizes or excites DNA components (base, sugar, and phosphate backbone) as well as the surrounding water molecules, which are an integral part of the DNA structure. Holes produced quickly shed excess energy and result in ground-state cation radicals. 12-15, 17, 18 Secondary electrons with kinetic energy are produced in a large quantity (4× 104 per MeV of energy deposited) 19 along the tracks of the ionizing radiation and have been recently shown to produce single-and doublestrand breaks in DNA. 20-26 Only a small fraction of the secondary electrons are able to cause DNA damage. Most secondary electrons undergo collisional loss of energy with the medium and thermalize within picoseconds. They then either recombine with holes or are captured by the pyrimidines (thymine (T) and cytosine (C)) to form DNA radical anions T•-and C•-. 27 Holes produced during the initial ionizing event in DNA for the most part transfer to the base with the lowest ionization potential. Guanine (G) has the lowest ionization potentials of the four DNA bases (adenine (A), T, G, and C), 28-31 and as a consequence, guanine becomes the locus for hole trapping in DNA. 32-34 Ionization of the sugar phosphate backbone initiates two competitive reactions for the hole formed:(i) deprotonation from sugar ring carbon sites to form neutral sugar radicals34-39 and (ii) hole transfer to a neighboring DNA base that after base-tobase hole transfer would end up on guanine. 37, 38, 39b Figure 1 gives an overview of the processes that lead from radiationinduced hole and secondary electron generation in DNA to hole and electron transfer, proton transfer processes, and subsequent molecular product formation such as 8-oxo-G from G•+. 32-34 Proton-coupled electron and hole transfer is an important feature of the radiation damage process. An example is the equilibrium shown in Figure 1, left side, in which protonation of the cytosine anion radical at N3 results in transfer of electrons from thymine to cytosine. Coupling of these prototropic equilibria to charge transfer of radiationproduced ion radicals is the focus of this review. One-electron oxidation or reduction of a molecule profoundly affects the acid/base properties of the molecule. On loss of one electron, DNA bases greatly increase in acidity, whereas, on gain of one electron, DNA bases become substantially more basic in comparison to the neutral base.
