Changes in the pulse-polarographic behaviour and circular dichroism spectra of DNA were investigated after gamma and ultraviolet irradiations and after degradation by DNAse I. It was found that moderate doses of radiation cause local conformational changes in the double helix, which are dependent on the chemical nature of the damage. Only the accumulation of structural changes after high doses of the radiations or after extensive enzymic treatment may cause formation of single-stranded regions in DNA.
研究了γ射线和紫外线照射以及DNA酶I降解后DNA的脉冲极谱行为和圆二色光谱的变化。发现中等剂量的辐射会导致双螺旋结构发生局部构象变化,这种变化取决于损伤的化学性质。只有高剂量辐射或广泛酶处理后结构变化的积累才可能导致DNA中形成单链区域。
