DNA and Double-Stranded Oligonucleotides - Free-Radical-Induced DNA Damage and Its Repair - page 369

The dominant radical cation reacts with water [reactions (10) and (11)], with
some preference at C (4 ) [reaction (10)]. The radical cation has oxidizing prop-

erties and is capable of oxidizing either a neighboring G such as depicted in re-
action (14) or a more distant one by hole transfer through DNA (Sect. 12.10).
