Characteristics of DNA damage induced by ultrasoft X-rays and upon photoionization

The initial indiscriminate damage of ionizing radiation on DNA in cells arises through direct energy deposition in DNA (non scavengeable component) or through water radicals (scavengeable component) together as clustered lesions. The non scavengeable component of damage leads to electron loss (and e...
