Oxidative damage to DNA bases commonly resultsin the formation of oxidized purines, particularly 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) and 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoadenine (8-oxoA), the former being a well-known mutagenic lesion. Since 8-oxoG is readily subject to further oxidation compared with normal bases, the insertion of

The aqueous oxidations of glutathione (GSH) by [IrCl(6)](2-), [Fe(bpy)(2)(CN)(2)](+), and [Fe(bpy)(CN)(4)](-) are described. All three reactions are highly susceptible to catalysis by traces of copper ions, but this catalysis can be fully suppressed with suitable chelating agents. The direct oxidation

In an effort to develop sensitive nanoscale devices for chemical and biological sensing, we have examined, using liquid gating, the conductance of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube-based field-effect transistors (SWCNT-FETs) in the presence of redox mediators. As examples, redox couples K3Fe(CN)6/K4Fe(CN)6
