Abstract
As two factors, the changes of concentration of DNA and dose rate are of significance in the study of DNA damage induced by irradiation. The influence of DNA damage induced by γ ray at different concentration of DNA under different dose rate was investigated. The result of gel electrophoresis indicate that DNA molecules were damaged severely as the concentration of DNA decreasing. The number of double strand breakages per DNA were obtained by the software of Alpha Innotech and theoretical analysis. It shows that the numbers of double strand breakages per DNA presented nonlinear feature as the concentration of DNA decreasing, and the dose rate had little influence on DNA damage.
