Rejoining of radiation-induced single-strand breaks in deoxyribonucleic acid of Escherichia coli: effect of phenethyl alcohol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single-strand breaks in deoxyribonucleic acid of Escherichia coli B/r cells exposed to 20 krads of gamma radiation could be rejoined by incubation of irradiated cells in growth medium. In the presence of 0.25% phenethyl alcohol, this repair was completely inhibited although deoxyribonucleic acid and protein syntheses were suppressed only partially.

Influence of thymine starvation on the integrity of deoxyribonucleic acid in Escherichia coli.
The influence of thymine starvation on the single-strand molecular weight of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from Escherichia coli was determined by sedimentation through gradients of alkaline sucrose. Growth of cells for as long as 150 min in thymineless medium did not significantly reduce the molecular weight below the control value of 2.4 +/- 0.3 x 10(8) daltons. Incubation of cells in thyminele...
متن کاملRepair of radiation-induced damage in Escherichia coli. I. Effect of rec mutations on post-replication repair of damage due to ultraviolet radiation.
Strains of Escherichia coli K-12 mutant in the genes controlling excision repair (uvr) and genetic recombination (rec) have been studied with reference to their radiosensitivity and their ability to repair X-ray-induced single-strand breaks in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Mutations in the rec genes appreciably increase the radiosensitivity of E. coli K-12, whereas uvr mutations produce little i...
متن کاملRepair of radiation damage to deoxyribonucleic acid in germinating spores of Bacillus subtilis.
The repair of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in germinating spores was studied in comparison with that in vegetative cells. Radiation-induced single-strand breaks in the DNA of spores and of vegetative cells of Bacillus subtilis were rejoined during postirradiation incubation. The molecular weight of single-stranded DNA was restored to the level of nonirradiated cells. The rate of the rejoining of...

Radiotherapy using various beams is one of the methods for treating cancer, Hadrons used to treat cancers that are near critical organs. The most important part of the cell that is damage by ionizing radiation is DNA. In this study, damages induced in the genetic material of living cells (DNA) defined by the atomic model from the protein data bank (PDB) have been studied by radiati...
