The DNA nomenclature convention is as followed: the first number indicated the position from the 5′ end of the AP site analogue in the damaged strand and the letter (X) indicated the AP site analogue used (X = Pr or THF). For duplexes with sticky ends, the polarity of the overhang base is indicated by 3′ or 5′.
