title: [Formation of free radicals and DNA breaks after pulsed laser irradiation of DNA complexes with intercalating dyes].
abstract: Destruction of lambda phage DNA is studied under nanosecond pulse laser irradiation (lambda = 355 nm) of DNA-dye complexes in solution at 77K (dye--acridine orange, 8-methoxypsoralen, ethidium bromide). Free radicals induced by laser radiation are found to participate in DNA sugar-phosphate chain scission. It was observed that the quantity of DNA double-strand breaks correlated with that of the free radicals and that of oxygen influenced DNA laser destruction.
