Effect of hydration on the induction of strand breaks and base lesions in plasmid DNA films by gamma-radiation.
The yields of gamma-radiation-induced single- and double-strand breaks (ssb's and dsb's) as well as base lesions, which are converted into detectable ssb by the base excision repair enzymes endonuclease III (Nth) and formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg), at 278 K have been measured as...
