Abstract
We present an overview of the biophysical model RADAMOL developed as a Monte Carlo simulation tool for physical, physico-chemical and chemical stages of ionizing radiation action. Direct and indirect radiation damage by 10Â keV electrons, and protons and alpha particles with energies from 1Â MeV up to 30Â MeV to a free DNA oligomer or DNA in the complex with lac repressor protein is analyzed. The role of radiation type and energy, oxygen concentration and DNA interaction with proteins on yields and distributions of primary biomolecular damage is demonstrated and discussed.
