Range of radiochemical damage to DNA with decay of iodine-125
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|August 21, 1981
Abstract:
Studies of the length of DNA fragments produced upon decay of iodine-125-labeled deoxycytidine that was located at a single position within a DNA fragment of defined sequence demonstrate that most radiochemical damage occurs within 15 to 20 angstroms of the site of iodine-125 decay. However, DNA strand breakage was detectable up to 70 angstroms from the site of iodine-125 decay.
