Description

Citral and octanal are compounds found in citrus fruits, grasses and perfumes. It has been found that aldehyde groups can react with the nucleotides of DNA and form covalent linkages. Since citral and octanal are aldehydes, they were allowed to react with DNA. This project has been localized around exploring the potential products that form when DNA and its nucleosides 2’-deoxyguanosine and 2’- deoxyadenosine react independently with octanal and citral. The reaction mixtures were analyzed by HPLC and NMR.
