Quasi-intrinsic fluorescent probes for detecting the DNA adduct (^ABPdG) based on an excited-state intermolecular charge transfer mechanism

Abstract

N′-(2′-Deoxyguanosin-8-yl)-4-aminobiphenyl (ABPdG) is one of the most representative carcinogenic DNA adducts formed by human exposure to 4-aminobiphenyl (4-ABP) during dye production, rubber-manufacturing processes and cigarette smoke.
