Biological reactions of X-rays. Effect of X-rays on the rate of specific hemolysis

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 rate 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.
