Ionizing Radiation Damage to DNA: Molecular Aspects (UCLA Symposia on Molecular and Cellular Biology)

Comprised of a series of short papers, dedicated exclusively to the molecular aspects of ionizing radiation-induced damage and its subsequent biological processing. Representing a scientific cross-section, with contributions by major researchers in the field, it examines new and innovative methodologies for detecting and quantifying the broad spectrum of DNA damage, spotlights the use of recombinant DNA technologies for introducing unique model lesions into DNA, and assesses their mutagenic potential.
