Abstract
Quantitive analysis of DNA doublestrand break (DSB) is of importance for studying on the mechanisms of radiobiological effects induced by high linear energy transfer(LET) irradiation. For the practical use, one new calculating formula named the method of average molecular weight is deducted. In this method, the factual distribution of DSB fragments is not considered, but actually, the content and distribution of DSB fragments are included. Totally, this method is simple in shape and easy to use, esp...
