Hypoxic X-radiolysis of diluted aqueous solution was performed to generate hydrated electrons that induced one-electron reduction of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) possessing a disulfide bond. The disulfide bond was cleaved into thiols, which underwent subsequent reoxidation to produce three forms of disulfide ODNs via intermolecular strand crossing.
