Description

The authors have used the polarographic response of DNA as a measure of the effect of irradiation dose of radium applicators containing 10 mg, 20 mg, and 50 mg of radium. This method allows the comparison of the effects of various irradiation sources, and it was found that not only the dose (mgh) but also the screenage had a strong influence on the effect of the irradiation of DNA solution.

Abstract (German)

Die polarographisch festgestellte Reaktion der DNA wurde von den Verfassern benutzt, um die Wirkung der Bestrahlungsdosis von Radiumapplikatoren zu messen, die mit 10 mg, 20 mg oder 50 mg beschickt waren. Diese Methode erlaubt, die Wirkungen verschiedenartiger Strahlenquellen zu vergleichen, und es zeigte sich, dass nicht nur die Dosis (mgh), sondern auch die Abschirmung erheblichen Einfluss auf das Ergebnis der Bestrahlung von DNA-Loesungen hat.
