We have identified a series of modifications of the 2'-deoxyribose moiety of DNA arising from the exposure of isolated and cellular DNA to ionizing radiation. The modifications consist of 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleoside derivatives of T, C, A, and G, as identified by enzymatic digestion and LC-MS/MS. Under dry conditions, the yield of these products was 6- to 44-fold lower than the yield of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine. We propose that 2',3'-dideoxyribonucleosides are generated from the reaction of low- ...[more]
