Influence of chromatin compaction on simulated early radiation‐induced DNA damage using Geant4‐ DNA
28 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In this work, we present simulated double-strand breaks (DSBs) obtained for two human cell nucleus geometries. The first cell nucleus represents fibroblasts, filled with DNA molecules in different compaction forms: heterochromatin or euchromatin only. The second one represents an endothelial cell nucleus, either filled with heterochromatin only or with a uniform distribution of 48% of heterochromatin and...
