Publisher's Synopsis
Part of a series which sets out to publish articles on the chemistry of free radicals, the production of free radicals by xenobiotics and biological systems, free radical damage to tissues, and defence mechanisms against free radical damage.;Extended versions of the abstracts presented at a symposium, "Free Radical- and Radiation-Induced Damage to DNA", are published in this special issue. The aim of the symposium was to discuss new results on free-radical damage to DNA and model compounds and contributors focused on identification of free radicals in model systems and in DNA; free-radical reactions of DNA model compounds; free-radical reactions of polynucleotides and DNA in aqueous solution; and free-radical-induced damage to DNA in cellular systems.
