Figure 1

Schematic diagram showing major oxidation and reduction processes that occur in DNA during high energy radiation interaction with DNA. (HT = hole transfer; ET = electron transfer). Processes involving excited states and low energy electrons are not shown. The sketch is based on the works from refs. 3,7,9,10-17, 31-42.
