Overview of Oxidatively Generated DNA Damage

Major progress has been achieved during the last two decades in achieving a better understanding of the degradation pathways of the bases and 2-deoxyribose moieties of isolated DNA and related model compounds upon exposure to 02, OH, one-electron oxidants, and HOC1. Extensive model studies have led to the isolation
