DNAsidontasäde
DNAsidontasäde, often abbreviated as DNA binding radiation, refers to a phenomenon where ionizing radiation interacts directly with the DNA molecule within a cell. This interaction can cause a variety of damage to the DNA structure, including single-strand breaks, double-strand breaks, and base modifications. The term "säde" is Finnish for radiation or ray, and "sidonta" refers to binding. Therefore, DNAsidontasäde translates directly to DNA binding radiation.
This direct interaction is a critical mechanism by which ionizing radiation induces cellular damage, potentially leading
