Table 2 The values used to obtain the theoretically fitted curves shown in Fig. 2a,b,c, derived from Eqs. (1) and (2). Here, Γ₀ (cm²/mJ) is the rate of UV radiation directly causing DNA damage by the formation of thymine dimers; Γ₁ (cm³/s) is the rate of ROS radicals causing damage to DNA; Γ₂ (cm²/mJ) is the rate of generation of ROS radicals at bacteria by UV radiation; Γ₃ (1/s) is the lifetime of ROS radicals; and Γ₄ (cm³/s) is the mutual destruction rate of ROS radicals.
