Impact of Oxygen on DNA Damage Distribution in 3D Genome and its Correlation to Oxygen Enhancement Ratio after High-LET Irradiation

Ankang Hu, Wanyi Zhou, Xiyu Luo +2

The variation of the oxygen enhancement ratio (OER) across linear energy transfer (LET) currently lacks a comprehensive mechanistic interpretation and a mechanistic model. Our earl…
