The oxidation of guanine to 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin (2-Ih) is major transformation in the oxidation of the single-stranded DNA 5-mer d(TTGTT) by m-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA) and dimenthyldioxirane (DMDO) as a model for peracid oxidants and in the oxidation of the 5-base pair duplex d[(TTGTT).(AACAA)] with DMDO. The 2-Ih base is a pathway-specific lesion generated by peracids and other epoxidizing agents and can be used as a potential biomarker.
