Abstract excerpt
A significant proportion of cellular DNA damages induced by ionizing radiation are produced in clusters, also called multiply damaged sites. It has been demonstrated by in vitro studies and in bacteria that clustered damage sites can be converted to lethal double strand breaks by oxidative DNA glycosylases during attempted base excision repair. To determine whether DNA glycosylases could produce double strand...
