Y represents a uracil residue and X represents an 8-oxoG lesion. The lesions on strand 1 have been given a number relating their positions to the uracil residue on the complementary strand 2. The number denotes the base separation. A positive number is given if the lesion on strand 1 is in the 5′ direction to that on strand 2 and a negative number is given if the lesion on strand 1 is in the 3′ direction to that on strand 2. The U control oligonucleotide consists of a single uracil residue on strand 2.
