Jeremiah ARRT review - Nuclear Medicine Terms in this set (228) Direct interaction Said to take place when an original ionizing incident happens on that macromolecule (Ex. DNA, RNA, Protein and enzyme) if a macromolecule becomes ionized it is considered abnormal and thus damaged. Indirect interaction Occurs if the initial ionizing incident takes place on a distant noncritical molecule, which then transfers that ionization energy to another molecule Indirect as the human body i...
