Peer reviewedWard, John F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1981
Describes some basic findings in the radiation chemistry of genetic material derived from studies of model systems. Uses these findings to extrapolate the consequences of radiation damage to DNA within cells. (CS)
Descriptors: Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, College Science
Peer reviewedBiaglow, John E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1981
Discusses the effects of radiation on dividing cells and factors influencing these effects; also briefly reviews the radical mechanism for radiation damage. Emphasizes the importance of oxygen in radiation effects. (CS)
Descriptors: Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, College Science
Peer reviewedGreenstock, Clive L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1981
Discusses various aspects of radiation damage to biological material, including free radical mechanisms, radiation sensitization and protection, tumor hypoxia, mechanism of hypoxic cell radiosensitization, redox model for radiation modification, sensitizer probes of cellular radiation targets, pulse radiolysis studies of free radical kinetics,…
