Abstract
It has been shown that ethylene oxide reacts with dC at the N3 position to produce a potentially mutagenic lesion, 3-(2-hydroxyethyl) deoxyuridine (3-HE-dU). In this article, we report NMR and Molecular Mechanic studies of a duplex containing the 3-HE-dU base with an adenine in front of the lesion which is in the sequence, 5'-GCAAGTC(3-HE-dU)AAAACG.
