Description

Dehydrogenation of DNA pyrimidine nucleotides in thymine positions 5 and 6 and cytosine position 5 is not a drastic lethal damage. Moreover, dehydrogenation of DNA in thymine positions 5 and 6 is not an effective mutagenic lesion. DNA dehydrogenation in cytosine position 5 has proved to be a pronounc dmutagenic damage. As to induction of point mutations, 3H is not more harmful than external γ-radiation given in equivalent doses
