Structural, energetic and dynamic properties of guanine(C8)–thymine(N3) cross-links in DNA provide insights on susceptibility to nucleotide excision repair
The one-electron oxidation of guanine in DNA by carbonate radical anions, a decomposition product of peroxynitrosocarbonate which is associated with the inflammatory response, can lead to the formation of intrastrand cross-links between guanine and thymine bases [Crean et al. (Oxidation of single-st...
