Description

The induction of pyrimidine dimers in E. coli DNA by secondary ultraviolet light associated with 6 MVp X-rays in the dose range 20-90 Gy has been demonstrated using T4 endonuclease V. Under the experimental conditions used in these experiments the major component of this secondary U.V. light is Cerenkov emission. (author)
