Abstract
Abinitio calculations have been carried out on the relative stabilities of various possible products of the reaction between cytosine and the OH radical. These products are of importance in modelling radiation damage to living tissues. The preferred theoretical gas-phase addition site is the C6 ring atom according to these calculations. The analysis of a series of possible contributions to solvent effects strongly suggests the predominance of intermolecular H bonds in stabilizing the experimentally observed C5 adduct.
