In order to obtain detailed insights into the physicochemical mechanism of DNA damage induction in terms of photoabsorption modes, we have prepared thin DNA films of closed circular plasmid (pUC18) on a cover slip without any additives. Using this film, we have performed preliminary experiments by exposing to soft X-rays with energies around oxygen K-shell ionization threshold. The DNA damage yields of strand breaks and base lesions or AP sites were quantified by biochemical treatments. We confirmed that the DNA film can work as a specimen irradiation. The DNA damage yields induced by π* excitation of a K-shell electron of oxygen atoms in DNA were significantly larger those for oxygen K-ionization.
