Modelling DNA damage induced by different energy photons and tritium beta-particles
Abstract
PURPOSE: To model the production of single- and double-strand breaks (ssb and dsb) in DNA by ionizing radiations. To compare the predicted effectiveness of different energy photon radiations and tritium beta-particles.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Modelling is carried out by Monte Carlo and includes consideration of direct energy depositions in DNA molecules, the production of species, their diffusion and interactions with each other and DNA. …
