Comparison of native and microwave irradiated DNA

Experientia. 1977 Dec 15;33(12):1649-50. doi: 10.1007/BF01934051.

Abstract

Chemical changes induced in the testicular DNA of irradiated Swiss male mice are described. Parameters quantified were hyperchromocity and melting temperature. The data supports the possibility that microwave causes strand separation.
