Abstract
Bleomycin is a metal- and oxygen-dependent DNA cleaver. The chemistry of DNA damage has been proposed to involve rate-limiting abstraction of the 4'-hydrogen. A DNA fragment has been prepared that contains [4'-2H]thymidine residues of high isotopic content. Primary kinetic isotope effects have been directly observed at individual thymidine residues with DNA sequencing technology.Entities:
