Mechanisms for radiation damage in DNA constituents and DNA
Description
The initial effects of all forms of ionizing radiation on DNA are the production of positive ions, negative ions, and excited states of the DNA bases. These species may later react to produce biologically significant damage. The reactions of ion radicals produced individually in DNA bases are reviewed. In this discussion emphasis is placed on the initial events immediately after ionization, i.e., the fate of the electron and positive hole in irradiated DNA. A number of techniques which have been used to produce ion radicals in DNA bases for ESR studies are described
