Effect of Various Intercalators on the Fenton‐Type Oxidative Cleavage of Double‐Stranded DNA

Abstract: The intensity of the linear dichroism (LD) in the absorption region of DNA (about 260 nm) decreased with time in the presence of [Fe(EDTA)](2+) (EDTA = ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), H2O2, and ascorbate. The decrease in the LD signal indicated either an increase in flexibility, a shortening of the DNA stem, or both, owing to oxidative cleavage, and was best described by the difference between the two single-exponential-decay curves, thereby suggesting the involvement of two sequential first-order reactions.… Show more

“…Transition-metal-mediated hydroxyl radical production occurs via a number of routes; two well-known pathways are the Fenton and the Haber-Weiss mechanism. 44 The former reaction results in increased flexibility of DNA, whereas the latter causes shortening of the DNA strand. 46,47 The magnitude of LD decreased gradually with time without changing its shape, suggesting increased flexibility and/or shortened DNA length.…”
