Estimation of interaction function gamma(x) with sparsely ionizing radiation.

Abstract:

:The interaction function gamma(chi), which was introduced in the theory of dual radiation action as the probability that two energy transfers separated by distance chi combine with each other to produce a lesion, was estimated with sparsely ionizing radiation (60Co gamma rays and 40 kV X rays). Gamma(chi) was deduced on the assumption that the sensitive matrix is made up of small spherical flocculi distributed over the cell nucleus. The diameter of a flocculus was estimated at (4.0-11.2) X 10(-8) m when the diameter of the cell nucleus d was assumed to be 5 microns, and (4.0-11.4) X 10(-8) m when d was assumed to be 10 microns. It seems reasonable to hypothesize that the flocculus corresponds to the linker DNA in the chromatin structure of DNA, because the size of the linker DNA as a target (about 40 nm) is consistent with the diameter of flocculi obtained in this study.
