Molecular basis for the relative biological effectiveness of densely ionising radiation Peter O’Neill ● OH e - H ● + Gray Institute for Radiation Oncology & Biology University of Oxford, UK

Spatial distribution of events in cells  Track structure defines spatial distribution of energy deposition events -heterogeneous and homogenous  Chemistry defines types of lesions and yields -oxygen effects  Sub-cellular distribution of damage defined by ionisation density of the radiation - clusters of lesions (nm scale), clusters of DSB ( m m scale), random distribution  Distribution of DSB and clustered damage between cells dependent on - the radiation dose for sparsely ionising radiation - the fluence for densely ionising radiations

Damage complexity is largely dependent on ionisation density of the radiation Clustered damage 30-40% low-LET = complex Simple DSB 90% high-LET = Complex DSB complex 100 90 80 low LET high LET 70 percentage of total 60 50 40 30 Nikjoo, O’Neill, Goodhead, Terrissol, 20 Int.
