We studied the effects of soft X-rays radiation on free and clay (montmorillonite, kaolinite) adsorbed DNA. The DNA samples were exposed to X-rays of 1.49, 4.51 and 8.04 keV for exposure times ranging from 2 min up to 16 h. The biological transformation technique was used to estimate the damage of the DNA molecules. Free and clay adsorbed DNA are d...
