"Very low-energy radiation also damages DNA: how safe are "eye-safe" lasers?"

Damage to DNA by high energy radiation constitutes the most lethal damage occurring at the cellular level. Surprisingly, very low-energy interactions - with OH radicals, for instance - can also induce DNA damage, including double strand breaks. It is known that single strand breaks in the DNA backbone are amenable to repair but most double strand breaks are irreparable. The propensity with which slow OH radicals damage DNA depends on their rotational energy: rotationally "hot" OH is more proficient in causing double breaks. These novel findings are from experiments conducted on DNA in a physiological environment. Intense femtosecond laser pulses are propagated through water (in which DNA plasmids are suspended), creating plasma channels within water, resulting in generation, in situ, of electrons and OH radicals. It is shown that use of long laser wavelength light (1350 nm and 2200 nm) ensures only OH-induced damage to DNA is accessed. It is noteworthy that industry presently characterizes as "eye-safe" lasers that emit at wavelengths longer than 1300 nm.

But it is such wavelengths that are proficient at inducing damage to DNA: how safe is "eye-safe" when DNA in the eye can be readily damaged?

RICHMOND

Questions are being raised about the convictions of two men who were sentenced to long prison terms for a 1996 Norfolk rape.

The Innocence Project says DNA testing clears the two men, one of whom died in prison in December 2012.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch says the Innocence Project has filed a petition for a writ of actual innocence on behalf of 63-year-old Nathaniel E. Epps. He is serving a 153-year sentence at the Greensville Correctional Center. His brother-in-law, Percell F. Warren, died at the Deerfield Correctional Center.

The DNA testing was on sperm found in jeans worn by the victim. The petition says the testing shows that Warren's DNA was not identified in the mixture of male DNA, but that Epps could not be definitively excluded.

Epps' lawyers told the newspaper that the scientists conducting the testing said that if they had to assume only two men contributed DNA to the material tested, both Warren and Epps would be excluded.
