8-OMethyl Deoxyguanosine also known as 8-OMethyl dG modififed oligonucleotide has been used for the study of oxidative damage to G residues in biological systems. Such DNA damage leads to the formation of 8-oxo-G, the predominant product of G damage. 2-Aminoimidazolone and its hydrolysis product imidazolone are also major oxidation products of G. Access to these two potential lesions is not possible during oligonucleotide synthesis because they are so base-labile. We have, therefore, added the convertible base,  8-OMe-dG modication to our series of oligonucleotide modification for the study of DNA damage and repair.
