Abstract excerpt
The damaging potential of ionizing radiation arises largely from the generation of clustered DNA damage sites within cells. Previous studies using synthetic DNA lesions have demonstrated that models of clustered DNA damage exhibit enhanced mutagenic potential of the comprising lesions. However, little is known regarding the processes that lead to mutations in these sites, apart from the fact that base excision...
