  • Fractionation of Deoxyribonucleoprotein
    Bulletin des Sociétés Chimiques Belges, 2010
    Co-Authors: J. A. Lucy, J. A. V. Butler
    Abstract:

    1 The extraction of denatured desoxyribonucleoprotein, from calf thymus, with successive quantities of 0.6 N sodium chloride solution has been found to yield nucleic acid fractions (DNA) with varying base ratios, the initial extracts being richer in guanine and cytosine. 2 Some physical-chemical properties of these DNA fractions have been determined. 3 The histones extracted by this means have also been examined and it has been found that the earlier fractions show a relatively high content of lysine, while the later fractions are richer in arginine. However, the lysine rich histone is apparently not firmly attached to the DNA and may have been extracted independently.

  • Deoxyribonucleoprotein structure and radiation injury: cellular radiosensitivity is determined by LET infinity -dependent DNA damage in hydrated Deoxyribonucleoproteins and the extent of its repair.

    Abstract:

    Abstract For decades, theories of cellular radiosensitivity relied upon the initial patterns of energy deposition to explain radiation lethality. Such theories are unsound: cellular (DNA) repair also underlies cellular radiosensitivity. For the charged particles encountered in deep space, both the types of DNA damage caused in cellular Deoxyribonucleoproteins and the efficacies of their repair are dependent on linear energy transfer (LET ∞ ), and repair efficiency is also influenced by cell and tissue type, i.e., the actual recovery processes involved. Therefore, quality factors derived from radiation quality alone are inadequate parameters for assessing the radiation risks of space flight. Until recently, OH radicals formed in bulk nuclear water were believed to be the major causes of DNA damage that results in cell death, especially for sparsely ionizing radiations. That hypothesis has now been challenged, if not refuted. Lethal genomic DNA damage is determined mainly by energy deposition in Deoxyribonucleoproteins, and their hydration shells, and charge (energy) transfer processes within those structures.
