Abstract
AbstractThe interaction of keV ions with building blocks of DNA and proteins is of fundamental interest to proton and heavy ion therapy. During the last decade, ion-induced ionization and fragmentation was studied for isolated biomolecules, biomolecular clusters, nanosolvated isolated biomolecules and solid thin biomolecular films. This article gives a brief overview over the research on biomolecular mechanisms underlying ion-induced radiation damage with a focus on the different target systems.KeywordsElectron CaptureRelative Biological EffectivenessSkull Base TumorDissociative Electron AttachmentFragmentation Cross SectionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
