Investigation of neutron-induced damage in DNA by atomic force microscopy: experimental evidence of clustered DNA lesions.

Abstract:

:Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), we have investigated neutron-induced DNA double-strand breaks in plasmids in aqueous solution. AFM permits direct measurement of individual DNA molecules with an accuracy of a few nanometers. Furthermore, the analysis of the DNA fragment size distribution is non-parametric, whereas other methods are dependent on the model. Neutron irradiation of DNA results in the generation of many short fragments, an observation not made for damage induced by low-LET radiation. These data provide clear experimental evidence for the existence of clustered DNA double-strand breaks and demonstrate that short DNA fragments may be produced by such radiations in the absence of a nucleosomal DNA structure.

  • Global comparison of radiation and chemotherapy dose-response curves with a test for interaction.

    abstract::In the analysis of the effects of radiation or drugs on clonogenic survival data of mammalian cells, it is often advantageous to compare entire dose-response curves generated under different experimental conditions rather than to conduct single-dose comparisons. We propose a two-stage method for the global comparison ...
