Abstract
Recent publications have suggested that oxidative DNA damage mediated by hydroxyl radical (.OH) is unimportant in vivo, and that carbonate anion radical (CO3.-) plays the key role. We examine these claims and summarize the evidence that OH does play a key role as an important member of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo.
