Effect of low-energy microwaves on DNA stability in solution

Effect of low-energy microwaves on DNA stability in solution

DNA isolated from liver of healthy and tumor-bearing (sarcoma 45) rats was irradiated in water-salt solution with weak microwaves (64.5 GHz, 50 μW/cm2). The heat stability of DNA increased with irradiation time (a raise of 1.5°C in Tm for “tumor” DNA after 90 min, without changes in ΔT), which may b...

Description
Summary:DNA isolated from liver of healthy and tumor-bearing (sarcoma 45) rats was irradiated in water-salt solution with weak microwaves (64.5 GHz, 50 μW/cm2). The heat stability of DNA increased with irradiation time (a raise of 1.5°C in Tm for “tumor” DNA after 90 min, without changes in ΔT), which may be associated with dehydration of the surrounding Na+ ions.
