Title: The inhibition of DNA synthesis by calf-thymus polymerase by X-irradiation of the primer DNA

Abstract

Studies were made to determine whether or not DNA damaged by x irradiation may be easily replicated by the DNA synthetic mechanism. It was found that the synthesis of new material is strongly inhibited by large doses of x rays, and that within the experimental error, there is no great difference in the amounts of incorporation of d-TMP and d-CMP at any dose level that was examined. The results emphasize that the system used for assaying the effects of irradiation may greatly modify the results obtained.
