Biological Reactions of X-Rays

Effect of X-Rays on the Rates of Specific Hemolysis¹

From the State Institute for the Study of Malignant Disease and the Chemical Department of the Laboratories of the Buffalo General Hospital

Abstract

1. The radiation of the individual components of a hemolytic system does not increase the rate of hemolysis of that system.

2. Radiation of the whole hemolytic system increases the rate of hemolysis of that system.

3. X-rays influence the velocity at which the equilibrium of a reaction is reached. Further studies are in progress to determine the effect of x-rays on the velocity of chemical reactions.
