X-ray photoelectron-spectroscopy (XPS) allows simultaneous irradiation and damage monitoring. Although water radiolysis is essential for radiation damage, all previous XPS studies were performed in vacuum. Here we present near-ambient-pressure XPS experiments to directly measure DNA damage under water atmosphere. They permit in-situ monitoring of the effects of radicals on fully hydrated double-stranded DNA. Our results allow us to distinguish direct damage, by photons and secondary low-energy electrons (LEE), from damage by hydroxyl radicals or hydration induced modifications of damage pathways. The exposure of dry DNA to x-rays leads to strand-breaks at the sugar-phosphate backbone, while deoxyribose and nucleobases are less affected. In contrast, a strong increase of DNA damage is observed in water, where OH-radicals are produced. In consequence, base damage and base release become predominant, even though the number of strand-breaks increases further. Furthermore, first data about the degradation of single-stranded DNA binding-proteins (G5P / GV5 and hmtSSB) under vacuum and NAP-XPS conditions are presented.
Radiation biophysics
(2023)
We give an overview about recent work concerning ionizing radiation damage to Oligonucleotides, plasmid DNA, DNA binding proteins (G5P), and DNA-protein complexes.
We focus on combining new experimental setups with Geant4/TOPAS particle scattering simulations to understand the effets of ionizing radiation.
