Abstract

The carbonate radical anion (CO(3)) is believed to be an important intermediate oxidant derived from the oxidation of bicarbonate anions and nitrosoperoxocarboxylate anions (formed in the reaction of CO(2) with ONOO(-)) in cellular environments. Employing nanosecond laser flash photolysis methods, we show that the CO(3) anion can selectively oxidize guanines in the self-complementary oligonucleotide duplex d(AACGCGAATTCGCGTT) dissolved in air-equilibrated aqueous buffer solution (pH 7.5). In these time-resolved transient absorbance experiments, the CO(3) radicals are generated by one-electron oxidation of the bicarbonate anions (HCO(3)(-)) with sulfate radical anions (SO(4)) that, in turn, are derived from the photodissociation of persulfate anions (S(2)O(8)(2-)) initiated by 308-nm XeCl excimer laser pulse excitation. The kinetics of the CO(3) anion and neutral guanine radicals, G(-H)( small middle dot), arising from the rapid deprotonation of the guanine radical cation, are monitored via their transient absorption spectra (characteristic maxima at 600 and 315 nm, respectively) on time scales of microseconds to seconds. The bimolecular rate constant of oxidation of guanine in this oligonucleotide duplex by CO(3) is (1.9 +/- 0....Continue Reading
