[The formation of DNA-protein cross-links in response to gamma radiation, UV irradiation and chemical agents].

Abstract

The present paper deals with the damages that are induced by numerous agents, such as gamma-radiation, UV-radiation, visible fluorescent light radiation, and a wide range of chemical agents, and lead to the formation of DNA-protein cross-links. This is the most unknown and obscure type of damage to cells. It is, however, well known that these damages are reparable.
