title: [On control of radioactive-chemical protection and point mutations by inhibitors of free radical reactions].
abstract: An opportunity to control the DNA protection against radiation in cells and the formation of 2-desoxyribose residue epimers (sites of potential point mutations) by using a set of free radical scavengers differing by parameters of availability (molecular mask and access window) is discussed. The values of steric probability (efficiency) of formation of a chemical bond between atoms Cn of a 2-desoxyribosyl radical (n from 1 to 5) and H-atom of a scavenger donor group were determined. It was shown that the maximum effect of radioprotection determined, for example, by transformations of C2 radical reached 25% (4-oxy-3,5-di-tert-butyl-alpha-methylbenzylamine) and maximum yield of C4-epimer was 15.5% (L-cysteine).
