Abstract
The molecular structures of adducts between the + and—enantiomers of 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxy benzo[aJpyrene and a double-stranded model for DNA, have been examined by empirical energy calculations. Low-energy structures were only obtained for A form, and not B form DNA. Both + and—adducts are of approximately equal energy. Some structural differences in the orientation of the BP chromophore in the two adducts were found.This publication has 46 references indexed in Scilit:
