Abstract

Time profiles for degradation of DNA via reaction of H2O2 with the DNA-Cu+ complex were analyzed over a wide range of concentrations of the components. The yield of DNA damage per H2O2 molecule is 10 times lower than that obtained with gamma-radiolytically generated .OH radicals. The observations can be explained by a model in which H2O2 reacts, slowly on the one hand with DNA-Cu+ by formation of toxic .OH radicals immediately at the DNA and faster on the other hand with Cu+ in the bulk solution by formation of less toxic Cu(III) intermediates.
