It has previously been shown that ethanol and tert-butanol protect poly(U) against strand breaks from pulsed laser ultraviolet (UV) photons (lambda = 248 nm). This protection is believed to be based on a modification of direct DNA damage, not on scavenging hydroxyl radicals. In this paper, several .OH scavengers were tested in vivo with Escherichia coli DNA repair-deficient mutants to see if protection could also be demonstrated with non-laser UV photons (lambda approximately 254 nm). No protection was observed.
先前已经表明,乙醇和叔丁醇可保护聚尿苷酸(poly(U))免受脉冲激光紫外线(UV)光子(波长λ = 248 nm)造成的链断裂。据信这种保护作用是基于对直接DNA损伤的修饰,而非清除羟基自由基。在本文中,使用大肠杆菌DNA修复缺陷型突变体在体内测试了几种羟基自由基清除剂,以观察是否也能证明非激光紫外线光子(波长λ约为254 nm)具有保护作用。未观察到保护作用。
