Major radical products formed in irradiated DNA

Alternatively, long-range hole transfer in DNA is considered to be more difficult. However, evidence supporting hole transfer in some crystals 

The radiation products generated in DNA will be discussed in the next two sections in terms of how the primary cation and anion radicals decay to form secondary radical products. This discussion will encompass results from single crystals [15], the aqueous state [92,101], the calculations presented in Section 2, as weU as those obtained from ab initio studies [72], and studies on oriented and randomly oriented DNA [76,78],
