Enhanced relaxation of nanoparticle-bound supercoiled DNA in X-ray radiation

A therapeutic methodology was developed based on the large X-ray absorption cross-section of gold nanoparticles at high photon energies (>81 keV). Experimental results showed that the amounts of the relaxed circular supercoiled DNA (scDNA) for gold nanoparticle-bound scDNA were more than doubled...

Zusammenfassung:A therapeutic methodology was developed based on the large X-ray absorption cross-section of gold nanoparticles at high photon energies (>81 keV). Experimental results showed that the amounts of the relaxed circular supercoiled DNA (scDNA) for gold nanoparticle-bound scDNA were more than doubled compared to that for free scDNA under otherwise identical radiation conditions.
