The exposure of purified plasmid DNA to microwave radiation at nonthermal levels in the frequency range from 2.00 to 8.75 GHz produces single- and double-strand breaks that are detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. Microwave-induced damage to DNA depends on the presence of small amounts of copper. This effect is dependent upon both the microwave power and the duration of the exposure. Cuprous, but not cupric, ions were able to mimic the effects produced by microwaves on DNA.
将纯化的质粒DNA在2.00至8.75 GHz频率范围内的非热水平下暴露于微波辐射，会产生单链和双链断裂，可通过琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测到。微波对DNA的损伤取决于少量铜的存在。这种效应取决于微波功率和暴露持续时间。亚铜离子而非铜离子能够模拟微波对DNA产生的效应。
