Oxidative strand cleavage induced by abstraction of a C5’-hydrogen atom can generate a strand break with a 5’-dioxobutane (5’DOB) terminus on one side of the break. Reaction of the 5’DOB group with an adenine residue on the opposing strand of duplex DNA can generate a complex lesion composed of an ICL adjacent to a strand break.
