[ melikian et al. , ( 1988 ) cancer res. , 48 , 1781-1787 ] only the dna adducts derived from the binding of ( + ) -5-mecde are characterized by a pronounced positive linear dichroism signal at 308 nm due to the phenanthrenyl residue which is tilted at an angle of 45-48 degrees with respect to the average orientations of the axes of unoriented dna segments .
