“…Numerouse xperimental studies have been carriedo ut to explore the formation of DNA-proteinc ross-links with isolatedn ucleobases and single-and double-stranded DNA under different oxidative environments. [12,17,30,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] Various oxidizing agents such as hydroxyl radicals, sulfate radicals, carbonate radicals, organic carcinogens such as aldehydes,t ransition-metal ions such as Ni II ,C r VI ,F e II ,F e III ,I r IV ,a nd ionizing radiation, UV-, and visible light with photosensitizers are also found to induce DPC formation. [30, 36-38, 40, 49-53] The spectrum of the DPC products dependso nt he nature of the oxidizing agent.…”
