Abstract

An understanding of the conformational behavior of the stereoisomeric tetrols at the 11,12,13,14-positions of dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) is essential for the spectroscopic identification of DNA adducts derived from the biologically highly active fjord region syn- and anti-DB[a,l]P-11,12- diol 13,14-epoxides. Conformational effects are expected to play an important role in DNA-DB[a,l]P diol epoxide reactivity, base-sequence specificity, and conformation dependent repair. The results of conformational studies on trans-anti-, cis-anti-, and cis-syn-DB[a,l]P tetrol isomers are presented and compared to the results obtained previously for trans-syn-DB[a,l]P tetrol (Carcinogenesis 17, 829-837, 1996). Molecular mechanics, dynamical simulations, and semiempirical calculations of electronic transitions are used to interpret the low-temperature fluorescence spectra and
