LET dependence of the yield of single-, double-strand breaks and base lesions in fully hydrated plasmid DNA films by 4He(2+) ion irradiation.

PURPOSE: To characterize the complexity of DNA damage through determination of the yields of single (SSB) and double strand breaks (DSB), base lesions and clustered damage sites induced in fully hydrated plasmid DNA by direct radiation effects as a function of the ionizing density of the radiation u...
