Iron associated with asbestos bodies is responsible for the formation of single strand breaks in phi X174 RFI DNA
…iron was responsible. Amosite fibres (5000 fibres/reaction), with a similar length distribution to that of the asbestos bodies, did not catalyse detectable amounts of single strand breaks in DNA under identical reaction conditions. The results…
