. The basic aspects of radiation effects on living systems. Radiation -- Physiological effect. 234 THE EFFECT OF IONIZING RADIATIONS In spite of oxidation of thiol groups and of tyrosine residues, electro- metric titrations have been of no aid, as no difference is observed be- tween the control and the irradiated solutions. Measurements of electro- phoretic mobilities were also of no help. Neither the areas nor the X 10 A Fig. 15.

Effect of x-ray irradiation on the absorption spectrum of bovine serum albumen, dissolved in M fiuoroacetate buffer, pH Abscissa: Wavelength in angstrom units; ordinate: molecular extinction coefficient X lO^E. mobilities of the protein solutions (serum albumin and globulin) were altered significantly. Measurement of the sedimentation rate, however, showed the presence of a second, faster-moving component when albumin and globulin were irradiated at pH 3. It is quite possible that this is a "dimerized" protein, the result of intermolecular union of two protein molecules through their —S—S— bonds to give Protein—S—S—Protein.
