Abstract
In the presence of thiols, the ten-membered-ring enediyne calicheamicin gamma1I generates a p-benzyne biradical that initiates oxidative cleavage of double-stranded DNA. Application of spin-trapping has successfully provided ESR and mass spectroscopic evidence for the formation of the monoadducts with phenyl tert-butyl nitrone (PBN). [reaction: see text].Entities:
