title: [The yields of the processes of DNA radiation-chemical destruction in the chromatin].
abstract: The methods of gel electrophoresis and spectrophotometry were used to study DNA destruction in the chromatin (a nucleosome set of 1 to 8 units) irradiated with 60Co-gamma quanta in water solutions at doses ranging from 1 to 40 kGy, depending on the chromatin concentration, the nature of gas that saturated the solution (Ar, N2O), and the protein/DNA ratio in the chromatin samples. In conditions of a complete involvement of water radiolysis products, OH and eaq, in the reaction with the chromatin (the chromatin concentrations in the solution exceeding 0.04 weight % when calculated per DNA) determined were G ("DNA-protein") cross-links = 6.10(-5), the G (chromophoric group degradation) = 0.4, and G (double-strand breaks) less than 10(-5), as well as G of the process of free DNA release into the solution. The latter depend upon the protein/DNA ratio in the sample and increased with increasing protein content of the chromatin with the protein/DNA ratio being greater than 1.1/1.
