    Notes: Abstract Cells of diploid yeast,Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were exposed to a variety of energetic heavy ions (provided by the UNILAC facility at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung, GSI),241Amα-particles and 80-keV x-rays after which they were assessed for DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) using either the neutral sedimentation or the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) technique. Both yielded comparable results. The DSB production cross-sections are compared with inactivation studies performed for the same cells under identical conditions. The measurements show that with lighter ions DSB induction cross-sections increase with linear energy transfer (LET), but the situation is less clear with the heavier ions. A close parallelism was found between DSB induction and cell inactivation in these yeast cells.

    Description: Molecular changes at the DNA are assumed to be the main cause for radiation effects in a number of organisms. During the course of the last decades techniques have been developed for measuring DNA double-strand breaks (dsb), generally assumed to be the most critical DNA lesions. The outcome of all those different approaches portrays a collection of data useful for a theoretical description of radiation action mechanisms. However, in the case of heavy ion induced DNA dsb the picture is not quite clear yet and further projects and strategies have to be developed. The biological systems studied in our group are yeast and mammalian cells. While in the case of yeast cells technical and methodical reasons highlight these organisms mammalian cells reach greater importance when dsb repair studies are performed. In both types of organisms the technique of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) is applied, although with different modifications and evaluation procedures mainly due to the different genome sizes.
