title: [Sensitized NADH formation of single-stranded breaks in plasmid DNA upon the action of near UV-radiation].
abstract: It has been shown that NADH photosensitize in vitro single-strand breaks formation in double-strand plasmid DNA pBR 322 upon near-UV (320-400 nm) irradiation. The number of single-strand breaks depends both on UV light dose and sensitizer concentration. Addition of catalase and sodium benzoate strongly decreases the single-strand breaks formation. The results show an important role of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl radical (.OH) in inducing single-strand breaks in plasmid DNA irradiated by near-UV radiation in the presence of NADH.
