On a Hamilton PRP-1 column (10 ´ 250 mm, 7mm) eluted at 3 ml/min with a gradient from 0 to 17.5% acetonitrile in 0.1 M (NH4)2CO3, pH 7.5, over 20 min, followed by a ramp to 50% acetonitrile over the next 8 min.

§Assignments based on CD spectra of the oligonucleotides (cis opened adducts) or of the individual N 2-dG adducts after enzymatic digestion (trans opened adducts); see text.
