Journal Article · · Chemical Research in Toxicology
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1021/tx960095b· OSTI ID:508205

The indirect effects of ionizing radiations gives rise to strand breaks and base lesions as the main classes of DNA damage. This paper reports on work on the measurement of four oxidized pyrimidine bases in isolated DNA after exposure to gamma radiation in aerated aqueous solution. 30 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab.
