A great deal of effort has gone into research on the mechanisms of action of chemical carcinogens. The action of the host on the carcinogen represents one approach--to determine what metabolic products may be involved. Study of the action of the carcinogen on the host requires a thorough comparison

## Abstract A free radical was produced enzymatically by incubating benzo(a)pyrene with liver microsomes. This radical, identified as the 6‐oxybenzo(a) pyrene radical, was sufficiently reactive to bind covalently with nucleic acid bases. Similar reactive free radicals were produced enzymatically fr

Two examples are described of the use of NMR spectroscopy to study the modification of DNA structure by carcinogens. The reaction of ethylene dibromide involves initial conjugation with glutathione, catalysed by glutathione S-transferase. Reaction of this adduct with DNA occurs at N7 of guanine. Thr
