Computational Quantum Chemistry Studies of the Interactions of Amino Acids Side Chains with the Guanine Radical Cation.

Guanine is generally accepted as the most easily oxidized DNA base when cells are subjected to ionizing radiation, photoionization or photosensitization. At pH 7, the midpoint reduction potential is on the order of 0.2 – 0.3 V higher than those of the radicals of e.g. tyrosine, tryptophan cysteine a...
