Photosensitized Oxidation of 5-Methyl-2‘-deoxycytidine by 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone:  Characterization of 5-(Hydroperoxymethyl)-2‘-deoxycytidine and Stable Methyl Group Oxidation Products

5-Methylcytosine is a minor nucleobase of eukaryotic DNA which plays a central role in the regulation of gene expression. UV-A irradiation of an aerated aqueous solution of 5-methyl-2‘-deoxycytidine in the presence of menadione (MQ) as a type I photosensitizer leads to the formation of several stabl...
