PurposeIt has been previously argued that γ-irradiation of plasmid DNA in the presence of thiocyanate ions produces products recognized by the E. coli base excision-repair endonuclease formamidopyrimidine-DNA N -glycosylase (FPG), and there that derive from an intermediate guanyl radical species. The wish was to characterize the reactivity of this intermediate with reducing agents.Materials and methodsAqueous solutions of plasmid DNA containing either bromide or thiocyanate (10 -3 to 10 -1 mol dm -3) and also one of six other additives (azide, ferrocyanide, iodide, nitrite, promethazine, tryptophan, 10 -7 to 10 -3 mol dm -3) were subjected to 137 Cs γ-irradiation (662 keV). After irradiation, the plasmid was incubated with FPG. Strand break yields before and after incubation were determined by agarose gel electrophoresis under neutral conditions.ResultsThe very high yields of FPG-sensitive sites in the presence of SCN - or Br - decreased significantly with increasing concentrations of all of the six additives, with promethazine and tryptophan being the most efficient additives, and azide and iodide the least.ConclusionsFrom the results it is possible to estimate values of the rate constants for the reduction of the DNA guanyl radical (5x10 5, 2x10 5, 10 7 and 10 7 dm 3 mol -1 s -1 for ferrocyanide, nitrite, promethazine and tryptophan respectively).
