Abstract: | When protein is irradiated by γ-rays from a 60Co source in various liquids containing aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, naphthalene, and phenanthrene, the effect of the radiation varies with the irradiation liquids containing aromatic hydrocarbons. An empirical equation for the viscosity change was obtained. Protein irradiated by γ-rays from a 60Co source in air showed the effect of pH on protein reactions. An empirical equation for the viscosity change was obtained. |
