Radiation-induced decomposition of the purine bases within DNA and related model compounds.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This survey focuses on recent developments in the radiation chemistry of purine bases in nucleic acids and related model compounds. Both direct and indirect effects of ionizing radiation are investigated with special emphasis on the structural characterization of the final decomposition products of nucleic acid components. Available assays for monitoring radiation-induced base lesions are critically reviewed.

Background: Alpinia galanga L. belonging to the family Zingiberaceae is widely grown in the state of Kerala, India. They are effective antioxidant and free radical scavenger under both in vitro and in vivo condition. The efficacy of the isolated flavonoids in conferring protection from radiation induced damages to genomic DNA was studied. Materials and Methods: The bioflavonoids, galangin and k...
متن کاملPyrimidine Derivatives and Purine Bases in Soils
In earlier papers the presence of protein decomposition products in soils was reported and it was shown that in soils the changes occurring in the decay of such plant and animal materials as get into the soil are similar to the changes occuring under other conditions in the laboratory or in nature. The presence of arginine and histidine in soils was definitely established by isolating these deg...

متن کاملIn-vitro evaluation of rutin and rutin hydrate as potential radiation countermeasure agents
Background: DNA damage is one of the major consequences of radiation exposure onto the biological systems. A series of compounds including flavanoids were found to render DNA protection against radiation damage. In this study we elucidated the potential of rutin and rutin hydrate to protect plasmid DNA against damage induced by irradiation. Materials and Methods: DPPH and hydroxyl radical scave...
