This paper reports on NMR-molecular mechanics structural studies of the (-)-trans-anti-[MC]dG adduct positioned opposite dC in the sequence context of the d(Cl-C2-A3-T4-C5-[MC]G6-C7-T8-A9-C10-C11){sm_bullet}d(G12-G13-T14-A15-G16-C17-G 18-A19-T20-G21-G22) duplex [designated (-)-trans-anti-[MC]dG{sm_bullet}dC 11-mer duplex]. This adduct is derived from the trans addition at C{sup 4} of (-)-anti-1(S),2(R)-dihydroxy-3(R),4(S)-epoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-methylchrysene [(-)-anti-5-MeCDE] to the N{sup 2} position of dG6 in this duplex sequence. The 5-methyl group is located adjacent to the MC(C{sup 4}) binding site, with these groups juxtaposed in a sterically crowded bay region in the adduct duplex. The 5-methylchrysenyl and the nucleic acid exchangeable and nonexchangeable protons were assigned following analysis of two-dimensional NMR data sets in H{sub 2}O and D{sub 2}O buffer solution. The solution structure of the trans-anti-[MC]dG{sm_bullet}dC 11-mer duplex has been determined by incorporating DNA-DNA and carcinogen-DNA proton-proton distances defined by lower and upper bounds deduced from NOESY data sets as restraints in molecular mechanics computations in torsion angle space. The results establish that the [MC]dG6{sm_bullet}dC17 base pair and flanking dC5{sm_bullet}dG18 and dC7{sm_bullet}dG16 base pairs retain Watson-Crick alignments upon adduct formation. 61 refs., 9 figs., 2 tabs.
