Fig 1. Chemical structures of the lesions and sequences.
(A) Chemical structures of the trans-B[a]P-dG, cis-B[a]P-dG and the THF site. The THF is a stable analog of an abasic (AB) site. (B) The sequences and numbering system of the 11-mer duplexes containing the trans-B[a]P-dG adduct. G* denotes B[a]P-dG adduct.

Fig 2. 1D and 2D NMR spectra characteristics of the trans-B[a]P-dG:AB duplex.
(A) 1D spectrum (10.5–14 ppm) showing the imino proton assignments. (B) Portion of a 2D NOESY (250 ms mixing time) contour plot recorded at 10°C, in 10% H2O solution showing NOE connectivities between amino (5–8.5 ppm) and imino protons (10.8–13.8 ppm), and (C) imino- imino protons (10.8–13.8 ppm). Assignments: a, T20(NH3)—G21(NH1); b, T14(NH3)—G13(NH1); c, T4(NH3)—G18(NH1); d, T8(NH3)—G16(NH1); e, A3(H2)—T20(NH3); f, A9(H2)—T14(NH3); g, A19(H2)—T4(NH3); h, A15(H2)—T8(NH3); i,i’, C2(NH,H’)—G21(NH1); j, C2(H5)—G21(NH1); k, k’, C10(NH,H’)—G13(NH1); l, C10(H5)—G13(NH1); m, m’, C5(NH,H’)—G18(NH1); n, C5(H5)—G18(NH1); o, o’, C7(NH,H’)—G16(NH1); p, C7(H5)—G(NH1); q, A3(H2)—G21(NH1); r, A9(H2)—G13(NH1); s, A19(H2)—G18(NH1); t, A15(H2)—G16(NH1).
