OH)has been received much attention.But the reports on oxidative damaged RNA by
·
OH were quite limited.In fact
RNA
being the same as DNA
is also one of big two components for nucleic acid.It also has many important functions.Therefore
RNA attacked by

OH leads to serious consequence
which bring about decline of the cell activity even death of the cell.Thus a chemiluminescence system for generating and detecting oxidative damaged RNA by

OH was made
which initiated with Vit.C/CuSO

respectively.The pH of the system was 5.5.The final volume was 1mL.Using the system
we detected the effects that quercetin
caffeic acid
baicalin and rutin resisted oxidative damaged RNA by

OH and found that the four antioxidants could effectively inhibited oxidative damaged RNA by

OH.These facts also proved feasibility and practicality of the system.Molecular mechanism for oxidative damaged RNA by
·
OH was analyzed by the system and special antioxidants.The results indicated that sulfocarbamide which was a
·
OH scavenger nearly inhibited whole chemiluminescence.The reason for the phenomenon was that RNA oxidative damage was not initiated only because sulfocarbamide scavenged
