The study of radiosensitivity and radioresistance of organisms exposed to ionizing radiation has acquired additional relevance since a new bio-concept, coined as The primacy of Proteome over Genome, was proposed and demonstrated elsewhere a few years ago. According to that finding, genome integrity would require an actively functioning Proteome. However, when exposure to radiation takes place, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) from water radiolysis induce protein carbonylation (PC), an irreversible oxidative Proteome damage...
