Carbon-Centered Radicals - Free-Radical-Induced DNA Damage and Its Repair - page 118

The rates of these bimolecular termination reactions are usually close to dif-
fusion controlled except for equally charged radicals (Ulanski et al. 1997), nota-
bly polymeric radicals (Chap. 9.3). DNA belongs to this group.
