| Abstract |
The biological consequences of initial physicochemical events following exposure of DNA to germicidal (254 nm) ultraviolet C (UV-C) radiation are not fully understood despite progress that has been made. In particular the cause of UV-C induced single strand breaks is not known. This question has been addressed in the present investigation. |
