Scheme 1.

Scheme 1.

(A) Interconversion of the cis-(5R,6S) and trans-(5R,6R) Tg lesions. When the 5R-Tg isomer is paired opposite dA in this 5′-GTgG-3′ sequence a 7:3 cis-(5R,6S): trans-(5R,6R) mixture is present at equilibrium, in slow exchange on the NMR timescale (12). (B) Oligodeoxynucleotide duplex used for NMR studies, indicating the numbering of the nucleotides. X6 is the cis-(5R,6S) Tg lesion.
