Description

The mechanism of radiation-indUced damage of secondary DNA structure is described. A suggestion is made that a double-helical brim conformation adjacent to a local defect in the secondary structure, and the thermoactivated threshold process of a ''confluence'' of the defects are present in the irradiated DNA. It is supposed that the ma or type of the radiation damage to the spatial DNA structure is a triple helix repaired With the aid of the specific endonuclease
