ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE STUDIES OF RADIATION DAMAGE TO CERTAIN LIPIDS, HORMONES, AND VITAMINS

摘要

In the present work we have applied the method of microwave electron spin resonance to the study of radiation damage to certain lipids, hormones, and vitamins. In the accompanying paper on the nucleic acids and their constituents, references are given to descriptions of the theory and experimental methods which are employed. The samples, cobalt 60 gamma-ray source. They were irradiated and observed under vacuum, were later exposed to air or oxygen and observed again at various intervals.
