Abstract
Tandem mass spectrometry was used in the structure determinations of adducts formed between nucleosides and the potent carcinogen dibenzo[a,l]pyrene. Adducts expected to arise from both the one-electron oxidation mechanism and by the diol epoxide mechanism were studied. Structural isomers of the adducts can be distinguished by the fragment ions observed in their respective collisionally activated decomposition (CAD) spectra.
