Computer-simulated tracks of energy deposition events from protons and their secondary electrons were superimposed on a higher-order DNA target model describing the spatial coordinates of the whole genome inside a human cell to reproduce the trends in proton-induced DNA DSBs and fragment induction found in recent experiments.

Simulations of the model of the genome inside a human cell nucleus in its interphase based on the atomic coordinates of the DNA double helix with an additional volume for the water shell show improvements in electron scattering cross-sections for liquid water and the interaction of water radicals with DNA.

A realistic DNA target model that is capable of describing regular solenoidal, crossed-linker or zigzag structures as well as repeating stochastic arrangements of nucleosomes in the chromatin fiber was developed and implemented in the biophysical simulation code PARTRAC.

Track structures and resulting DNA damage in human cells have been simulated for hydrogen, helium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and neon ions with 0.25–256 MeV/u energy, and LET-dependencies with pronounced maxima around 100–200 keV/μm occur on nanometre Scale for sites that contain one or more DSB, and on micrometre scale for megabasepair-sized DNA fragments.

The transport properties of electrons in liquid water using two Monte Carlo computer models, PARTRAC and NOREC, which use interaction cross sections based on plane-wave Born approximations and a numerical parameterization of the complex dielectric response function for the liquid are compared.

The main outcome was that small fragments (<23 kbp) are produced almost exclusively via non-random processes, since their number is considerably higher than that produced by a random insertion of DSB.
Track Structures and Dose Distributions from Decays of 131I and 125I in and around Water Spheres Simulating Micrometastases of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

It is concluded that, in the treatment of thyroid cancer, the geometrical track structure properties of 125I might be superior to those of 131I in micrometastases with diameters less than 0.1 mm; however, in this medical context, many other factors also have to be considered.
