Abstract:
The technique of perturbed angular correlations of gamma rays has been used to study the effects of radiation on DNA molecules. The samples are buffered solutions of calf thymus DNA exposed to various doses (0-80 Gy) of gamma rays. Indium-111 is used as a probe. Rotational correlation times, tau(c), a parameter measuring the flexibility of a macromolecule, are obtained that show a dependence on radiation dose.
