Title: Modifiers of radiation action on DNA screened by analytical ultracentrifugation

Journal Article · · Radiat. Res.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2307/3576003· OSTI ID:6426338

The effect of daunomycin, chromomycin A/sub 3/, anthramycin, cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) (cisplatin), mitomycin C, and chloroquine on the frequency of radioninduced strand breaks in X-irradiated aqueous solutions of DNA was studied primarily by analytical ultracentrifugation using the sedimentation velocity method. The results show a potent radiosensitizing effect for daunomycin and chromomycin, a protective action for chloroquine and mitomycin, and a nonmodifying effect for anthramycin. Cisplatin forms a highly aggregated complex with DNA which prevents this kind of study.
