In order to clarify whether ascorbic acid, which is a major antioxidant in living systems, chemically repairs radiation damage to DNA. We quantified the yields of base lesions, AP sites and single strand breaks (SSBs) produced in plasmid DNA by $$gamma$$-irradiation in the presence of ascorbic acid with concentrations of 10-100 $$mu$$MM. By comparing the suppression efficiencies to the induction of each DNA lesion, it was found that ascorbic acid promotes the chemical repair of precursors of AP-sites and base lesions more effectively than those of single strand breaks. We estimated the efficiency of the chemical repair of each lesion using a kinetic model. Approximately 50-60% of base lesions and AP-sites were repaired by 10 $$mu$$M ascorbic acid, although strand breaks were largely unrepaired by ascorbic acid at low concentrations. The methods in this study will provide a route to understanding the mechanistic aspects of antioxidant activity in living systems.
