Abstract
Pulse radiolysis and 60Co γ-radiolysis have been used to study the effects of ionizing radiation on the glycogen-precipitating activity of the protein concanavalin A. Both eaq− and OH· react extremely rapidly with the protein and contribute to the observed loss of concanavalin A activity. Evidence is also presented that (Br)2 and (SCN)2 react with tyrosine and tryptophan residues in concanavalin A, which is also accompanied by loss of glycogen precipitation activity.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
