11. On the question whether or not the guanine radical (cation) is able to induce ("frank") strand breaks, different authors have come to different answers: In P. M. Cullis, M. E. Malone, L. A. Merson-Davies, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 2775 it is reported that the guanine radical does not lead to strand breakage, whereas in ref. [9] the authors come to the opposite conclusion.

Chem. 1988, 66, 2634-2639) for 2′-deoxyguanosine-3′,5′-diacetate and found to be equal within the standard deviation of 0.019 Å (bond lengths) and 1.1° (bond angles). See Supporting Information.
