Abstract
INTRODUCTION The need for accurate relative biological effectiveness (RBE) estimation for low energy therapeutic X-rays (corresponding to 50 kV nominal energy of a commercial low-energy IORT system (INTRABEAM)) is a crucial issue due to increased radiobiological effects, respect to high energy photons. Modeling of radiation-induced DNA damage through Monte Carlo (MC) simulation approaches can give useful information. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate and compare RBE of low energy therapeutic X-rays using Geant4-DNA toolkit and Monte Carlo damage simulation (MCDS) code. MATERIALS AND METHODS RBE calculations were performed considering the emitted secondary electron spectra through interactions of low energy X-rays inside the medium. In Geant4-DNA, the DNA strand breaks were obtained by employing a B-DNA model in physical stage with 10.79 eV energy-threshold and the probability of hydroxyl radical's chemical reactions of about 0.13%. Furthermore, RBE estimations by MCDS code were performed under fully aerobic conditions. RESULTS Acquired results by two considered MC codes showed that the same trend is found for RBEDSB and RBESSB variations. Totally, a reasonable agreement between the calculated RBE values (both RBESSB and RBEDSB) existed between the two considered MC codes. The mean differences of 9.2% and 1.8% were obtained between the estimated RBESSB and RBEDSB values by two codes, respectively. CONCLUSION Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that a tolerable accordance is found between the calculated RBEDSB values through MCDS and Geant4-DNA, a fact which appropriates both codes for RBE evaluations of low energy therapeutic X-rays, especially in the case of RBEDSB where lethal damages are regarded.

Abstract
In radiotherapy, X-ray or heavy ion beams target tumors to cause damage to their cell DNA. This damage is mainly induced by secondary low energy electrons. In this paper, we report the DNA molecular breaks at the atomic level as a function of electron energy and types of electron interactions using of Monte Carlo simulation. The number of DNA single and double strand breaks are compared to those from experimental results based on electron energies. In recent years, DNA atomistic models were introduced but still the simulations consider energy deposition in volumes of DNA or water equivalent material. We simulated a model of atomistic B-DNA in vacuum, forming 1122 base pairs of 30 nm in length. Each atom has been represented by a sphere whose radius equals the radius of van der Waals. We repeatedly simulated 10 million electrons for each energy from 4 eV to 500 eV and counted each interaction type with its position x, y, z in the volume of DNA. Based on the number and types of interactions at the atomic level, the number of DNA single and double strand breaks were calculated. We found that the dissociative electron attachment has the dominant effect on DNA strand breaks at energies below 10 eV compared to excitation and ionization. In addition, it is straightforward with our simulation to discriminate the strand and base breaks as a function of radiation interaction type and energy. In conclusion, the knowledge of DNA damage at the atomic level helps design direct internal therapeutic agents of cancer treatment.

Abstract
Track structure Monte Carlo simulations are a useful tool to investigate the damage induced to DNA by ionizing radiation. These simulations usually rely on simplified geometrical representations of the DNA subcomponents. DNA damage is determined by the physical and physicochemical processes occurring within these volumes. In particular, damage to the DNA backbone is generally assumed to result in strand breaks. DNA damage can be categorized as direct (ionization of an atom part of the DNA molecule) or indirect (damage from reactive chemical species following water radiolysis). We also consider quasi-direct effects, i.e., damage originated by charge transfers after ionization of the hydration shell surrounding the DNA. DNA geometries are needed to account for the damage induced by ionizing radiation, and different geometry models can be used for speed or accuracy reasons. In this work, we use the Monte Carlo track structure tool TOPAS-nBio, built on top of Geant4-DNA, for simulation at the nanometer scale to evaluate differences among three DNA geometrical models in an entire cell nucleus, including a sphere/spheroid model specifically designed for this work. In addition to strand breaks, we explicitly consider the direct, quasi-direct, and indirect damage induced to DNA base moieties. We use results from the literature to determine the best values for the relevant parameters. For example, the proportion of hydroxyl radical reactions between base moieties was 80%, and between backbone, moieties was 20%, the proportion of radical attacks leading to a strand break was 11%, and the expected ratio of base damages and strand breaks was 2.5-3. Our results show that failure to update parameters for new geometric models can lead to significant differences in predicted damage yields.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical (HO•) is the most reactive toward DNA among the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated in aerobic organisms by cellular metabolisms. HO• is generated also by exogenous sources such as ionizing radiations. In this review we focus on the purine DNA damage by HO• radicals. In particular, emphasis is given on mechanistic aspects for the various lesion formation and their interconnections. Although the majority of the purine DNA lesions like 8-oxo-purine (8-oxo-Pu) are generated by various ROS (including HO•), the formation of 5',8-cyclopurine (cPu) lesions in vitro and in vivo relies exclusively on the HO• attack. Methodologies generally utilized for the purine lesions quantification in biological samples are reported and critically discussed. Recent results on cPu and 8-oxo-Pu lesions quantification in various types of biological specimens associated with the cellular repair efficiency as well as with distinct pathologies are presented, providing some insights on their biological significance.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation is a common tool in medical procedures. Monte Carlo (MC) techniques are widely used when dosimetry is the matter of investigation. The scientific community has invested, over the last 20 years, a lot of effort into improving the knowledge of radiation biology. The present article aims to summarize the understanding of the field of DNA damage response (DDR) to ionizing radiation by providing an overview on MC simulation studies that try to explain several aspects of radiation biology. The need for accurate techniques for the quantification of DNA damage is crucial, as it becomes a clinical need to evaluate the outcome of various applications including both low- and high-energy radiation medical procedures. Understanding DNA repair processes would improve radiation therapy procedures. Monte Carlo simulations are a promising tool in radiobiology studies, as there are clear prospects for more advanced tools that could be used in multidisciplinary studies, in the fields of physics, medicine, biology and chemistry. Still, lot of effort is needed to evolve MC simulation tools and apply them in multiscale studies starting from small DNA segments and reaching a population of cells.

Abstract
Purine 5′,8-cyclo-2′-deoxynucleosides (cPu) are tandem-type lesions observed among the DNA purine modifications and identified in mammalian cellular DNA in vivo. These lesions can be present in two diasteroisomeric forms, 5′R and 5′S, for each 2′-deoxyadenosine and 2′-deoxyguanosine moiety. They are generated exclusively by hydroxyl radical attack to 2′-deoxyribose units generating C5′ radicals, followed by cyclization with the C8 position of the purine base. This review describes the main recent achievements in the preparation of the cPu molecular library for analytical and DNA synthesis applications for the studies of the enzymatic recognition and repair mechanisms, their impact on transcription and genetic instability, quantitative determination of the levels of lesions in various types of cells and animal model systems, and relationships between the levels of lesions and human health, disease, and aging, as well as the defining of the detection limits and quantification protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biotherapeutics, particularly monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), are a maturing class of drugs capable of treating a wide range of diseases. Therapeutic function and solutionstability are linked to the proper three-dimensional organization of the primary sequence into Higher Order Structure (HOS) as well as the timescales of protein motions (dynamics). Methods that directly monitor protein HOS and dynamics are important for mapping therapeutically relevant protein-protein interactions and assessing properly folded structures. Irreversible covalent protein footprinting Mass Spectrometry (MS) tools, such as site-specific amino acid labeling and hydroxyl radical footprinting are analytical techniques capable of monitoring the side chain solvent accessibility influenced by tertiary and quaternary structure. Here we discuss the methodology, examples of biotherapeutic applications, and the future directions of irreversible covalent protein footprinting MS in biotherapeutic research and development. CONCLUSION Bottom-up mass spectrometry using irreversible labeling techniques provide valuable information for characterizing solution-phase protein structure. Examples range from epitope mapping and protein-ligand interactions, to probing challenging structures of membrane proteins. By paring these techniques with hydrogen-deuterium exchange, spectroscopic analysis, or static-phase structural data such as crystallography or electron microscopy, a comprehensive understanding of protein structure can be obtained.

Abstract
5',8-Cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (cdA) and 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine (cdG) are lesions resulting from hydroxyl radical (HO (·) ) attack on the 5'H of the nucleoside sugar moiety and exist in both 5'R and 5'S diastereomeric forms. Increased levels of cdA and cdG are linked to Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) mechanism deficiency and mutagenesis. Discrepancies in the damage measurements reported over recent years indicated the weakness of the actual protocols, in particular for ensuring the quantitative release of these lesions from the DNA sample and the appropriate method for their analysis. Herein we report the detailed revision leading to a cost-effective and efficient protocol for the DNA damage measurement, consisting of the nuclease benzonase and nuclease P1 enzymatic combination for DNA digestion followed by liquid chromatography isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry analysis.

Abstract
The formation of oxidative lesions arising from double stranded DNA damage is of major significance to chemical biology from the perspective of application to human health. The quantification of purine lesions arising from γ-radiation-induced hydroxyl radicals (HO(•)) has been the subject of numerous studies, with discrepancies on the measured 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (cdA) and 5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine (cdG) lesions reported by different groups. Here we applied an ameliorative protocol for the analysis of DNA damage with quantitative determination of these lesions via isotope dilution liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Tandem-type purine lesions were quantified along with 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) and 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyadenosine (8-oxo-dA) in single and double stranded DNA, generated during DNA exposure to diffusible HO(•) radicals in the absence or presence of physiological levels of oxygen. The cdA and cdG lesions in absence of oxygen were found ~2 times higher in single than double stranded DNA, with 5'R being ~6.5 and ~1.5 times more predominant than 5'S in cdG and cdA, respectively. Interestingly, in the presence of 5% molecular oxygen the R/S ratios are retained with substantially decreased yields for cdA and cdG, whereas 8-oxo-dA and 8-oxo-dG remain nearly constant. The overall lesion formation follows the order: 8-oxo-dG >> 8-oxo-dA > 5'R-cdG > 5'R-cdA > 5'S-cdA > 5'S-cdG. By this method, there was a conclusive evaluation of radiation-induced DNA purine lesions.

Abstract
We probe femtosecond laser induced damage to aqueous DNA, relying on strong-field interaction with water wherein electrons and free radicals are generated in situ; these, in turn, interact with DNA plasmids under physiological conditions, producing nicks. Exposure to intense femtosecond pulses of 1350 and 2200 nm light induces single strand breaks and double strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. At the longer wavelength (and at higher intensities), rotationally hot OH radicals induce DSBs, producing linear DNA. Strand breaks occur due to single or multiple OH hits on DNA. With 2200 nm light, DSBs are formed mostly by the action of two OH radicals; use of OH scavengers establishes that the probability of a two-hit event reduces much faster than a one-hit event as scavenger concentration is increased. Thermal effects do not induce DSBs with 2200 nm light.

Abstract
The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes for only 13 polypeptides, components of 4 of the 5 oxidative phosphorylation complexes. But despite this apparently small numeric contribution, all 13 subunits are essential for the proper functioning of the oxidative phosphorylation circuit. Thus, accumulation of lesions, mutations and deletions/insertions in the mtDNA could have severe functional consequences, including mitochondrial diseases, aging and age-related diseases. The DNA is a chemically unstable molecule, which can be easily oxidized, alkylated, deaminated and suffer other types of chemical modifications, throughout evolution the organisms that survived were those who developed efficient DNA repair processes. In the last two decades, it has become clear that mitochondria have DNA repair pathways, which operate, at least for some types of lesions, as efficiently as the nuclear DNA repair pathways. The mtDNA is localized in a particularly oxidizing environment, making it prone to accumulate oxidatively generated DNA modifications (ODMs). In this article, we: i) review the major types of ODMs formed in mtDNA and the known repair pathways that remove them; ii) discuss the possible involvement of other repair pathways, just recently characterized in mitochondria, in the repair of these modifications; and iii) address the role of DNA repair in mitochondrial function and a possible cross-talk with other pathways that may potentially participate in mitochondrial genomic stability, such as mitochondrial dynamics and nuclear-mitochondrial signaling. Oxidative stress and ODMs have been increasingly implicated in disease and aging, and thus we discuss how variations in DNA repair efficiency may contribute to the etiology of such conditions or even modulate their clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Local energy transfer from electrons generated in biotissues that are exposed to ionizing radiation is fundamental to cell damage. Our aim in this investigation was to quantify the probability of cell mortality associated with the damage by electrons and the repair processes in the cell nucleus, envisaging a new interpretation of the cell surviving fraction (SF). We introduced a SF formula for cells exposed to X-rays, which is given as a linear combination of the Poisson distributions about the number of long-lived lesions per nucleus and their "non-lethal probabilities", to show the non-linearity of log SF as a function of dose. The model selection was rated by a statistical index, Akaike's information criterion (AIC). It was shown that the new formula is suitable for describing cell survival and explicitly takes account of the non-lethality in damage-processing pathways of the cells.

Abstract
The carcinogenicity of cadmium, arsenic, and chromium(VI) compounds has been recognized for some decades. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms seem to be complex and are not completely understood at present. Although, with the exception of chromium(VI), direct DNA damage seems to be of minor importance, interactions with DNA repair processes, tumor suppressor functions, and signal transduction pathways have been described in diverse biological systems. In addition to the induction of damage to cellular macromolecules by reactive oxygen species, the interference with cellular redox regulation by reaction with redox-sensitive protein domains or amino acids may provide one plausible mechanism involved in metal carcinogenicity. Consequences are the distortion of zinc-binding structures and the activation or inactivation of redox-regulated signal transduction pathways, provoking metal-induced genomic instability. Nevertheless, the relevance of the respective mechanisms depends on the actual metal or metal species under consideration and more research is needed to further strengthen this hypothesis.

Abstract
The reaction of the appropriately substituted 8-bromo-2′-deoxyguanosine with Bu3SnH/2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) can be favourably tuned to give the analogous 5′,8-cyclo-2′-deoxyguanosine derivatives in good yields, thus providing easy access to modified nucleosides that constitute an important DNA lesion. A large excess of AIBN is necessary. The creation of the new C5′–C8 bond is a non-chain radical cascade protocol.

Abstract
Search for the formation of oxidatively base damage in cellular DNA has been a matter of debate for more than 40 years due to the lack of accurate methods for the measurement of the lesions. HPLC associated with either tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) or electrochemical detector (ECD) together with optimized DNA extraction conditions constitutes a relevant analytical approach. This has allowed the accurate measurement of oxidatively generated single and clustered base damage in cellular DNA following exposure to acute oxidative stress conditions mediated by ionizing radiation, UVA light and one-electron oxidants. In this review the formation of 11 single base lesions that is accounted for by reactions of singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical or high intensity UVC laser pulses with nucleobases is discussed on the basis of the mechanisms available from model studies. In addition several clustered lesions were found to be generated in cellular DNA as the result of one initial radical hit on either a vicinal base or the 2-deoxyribose. Information on nucleobase modifications that are formed upon addition of reactive aldehydes arising from the breakdown of lipid hydroperoxides is also provided.

Abstract
Stress responses are of particular importance to microorganisms, because their habitats are subjected to continual changes in temperature, osmotic pressure, and nutrients availability. Stressors (and stress factors), may be of chemical, physical, or biological nature. While stress to microorganisms is frequently caused by the surrounding environment, the growth of microbial cells on its own may also result in induction of some kinds of stress such as starvation and acidity. During production of fresh-cut produce, cumulative mild processing steps are employed, to control the growth of microorganisms. Pathogens on plant surfaces are already stressed and stress may be increased during the multiple mild processing steps, potentially leading to very hardy bacteria geared towards enhanced survival. Cross-protection can occur because the overlapping stress responses enable bacteria exposed to one stress to become resistant to another stress. A number of stresses have been shown to induce cross protection, including heat, cold, acid and osmotic stress. Among other factors, adaptation to heat stress appears to provide bacterial cells with more pronounced cross protection against several other stresses. Understanding how pathogens sense and respond to mild stresses is essential in order to design safe and effective minimal processing regimes.

Abstract
Background Oxidative stress is a common stress encountered by living organisms and is due to an imbalance between intracellular reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS, RNS) and cellular antioxidant defence. To defend themselves against ROS/RNS, bacteria possess a subsystem of detoxification enzymes, which are classified with regard to their substrates. To identify such enzymes in prokaryotic genomes, different approaches based on similarity, enzyme profiles or patterns exist. Unfortunately, several problems persist in the annotation, classification and naming of these enzymes due mainly to some erroneous entries in databases, mistake propagation, absence of updating and disparity in function description. Description In order to improve the current annotation of oxidative stress subsystems, an innovative platform named OxyGene has been developed. It integrates an original database called OxyDB, holding thoroughly tested anchor-based signatures associated to subfamilies of oxidative stress enzymes, and a new anchor-driven annotator, for ab initio detection of ROS/RNS response genes. All complete Bacterial and Archaeal genomes have been re-annotated, and the results stored in the OxyGene repository can be interrogated via a Graphical User Interface. Conclusion OxyGene enables the exploration and comparative analysis of enzymes belonging to 37 detoxification subclasses in 664 microbial genomes. It proposes a new classification that improves both the ontology and the annotation of the detoxification subsystems in prokaryotic whole genomes, while discovering new ORFs and attributing precise function to hypothetical annotated proteins.

Abstract
An atomistic biophysical model permitting the calculation of initial attacks to a 38-bp representation of B-DNA base moieties by water radicals is presented. This model is based on a previous radiation damage model developed by Aydogan et al. (Radiat. Res. 157, 38-44, 2002). Absolute efficiencies for radical attack to the 38-bp DNA molecule are calculated to be 41, 0.8 and 15% for hydroxyl radical ((.)OH), hydrogen radical (H(.)), and hydrated electron (e(aq))(,) respectively. Among the nucleobases, guanine is found to have the highest percentage (.)OH attack probability at 36%. Adenine, cytosine and thymine moieties have initial attack probabilities of 24, 18 and 22%, respectively. A systematic study is performed to investigate (.)OH attack probabilities at each specified attack site in four molecular models including free bases, single nucleotides, single base pairs, and the central eight base pairs of the 38-bp DNA molecule. Cytosine is the free base moiety for which the closest agreement is observed between the model prediction and the experimental data. The initial (.)OH attack probabilities for cytosine as the free base are calculated to be 72 and 28%, while experimental data are reported at 87 and 13% for the C5 and C6 positions on the base, respectively. In this study, we incorporated atomic charges to scale the site-specific (.)OH reaction rates at the individual atomic positions on the pyrimidine and purine bases. Future updates to the RIDNA model will include the use of electron densities to scale the reaction rates. With respect to reactions of the aqueous electron with DNA, a comparison of the initial distribution of electron attack sites calculated in this study and experimental results suggests an extremely rapid and extensive redistribution of the e(-)(aq) after their initial reactions with DNA.

Abstract
Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations of a hydroxyl radical in liquid water have been performed. Structural and dynamical properties of the solvated structure have been studied in details. The partial atom-atom radial distribution functions for the hydrated hydroxyl do not show drastic differences with the radial distribution functions for liquid water. The OH is found to be a more active hydrogen bond donor and acceptor than the water molecule, but the accepted hydrogen bonds are much weaker than for the hydroxide OH- ion. The first solvation shell of the OH is less structured than the water's one and contains a considerable fraction of water molecules that are not hydrogen bonded to the hydroxyl. Part of them are found to come closer to the solvated radical than the hydrogen bonded molecules do. The lifetime of the hydrogen bonds accepted by the hydroxyl is found to be shorter than the hydrogen bond lifetime in water. A hydrogen transfer between a water molecule and the OH radical has been observed, though it is a much rarer event than a proton transfer between water and an OH- ion. The velocity autocorrelation power spectrum of the hydroxyl hydrogen shows the properties both of the OH radical in clusters and of the OH- ion in liquid.

Abstract
Hydroxyl radical footprinting can probe the solvent accessibility of the ribose moiety of the individual nucleotides of DNA and RNA. Semi-automated analytical tools are presented for the quantitative analyses of nucleic acid footprint transitions in which processes such as folding or ligand binding are followed as a function of time or ligand concentration. Efficient quantitation of the intensities of the electrophoretic bands comprising the footprinting reaction products is achieved by fitting a series of Lorentzian curves to line profiles obtained from gels utilizing sequentially relaxed constraints consistent with electrophoretic mobility. An automated process of data 'standardization' has been developed that corrects for differences in the loading amounts in the electrophoresis. This process enhances the accuracy of the derived transitions and makes generating them easier. Together with visualization of the processed footprinting in false-color two-dimensional maps, DNA and RNA footprinting data can be accurately, precisely and efficiently processed allowing transitions to be objectively and comprehensively analyzed. The utility of this new analysis approach is illustrated by its application to the ion-meditated folding of a large RNA molecule.
