Effects of the protein concentration on the radiation-induced aggregation. (a) Increase in I(0) with absorbed energy. The protein concentration of each symbol is shown. It is obvious that the aggregation becomes more conspicuous as the protein concentration decreases. (b) Concentration dependence of the aggregation time constants, defined by the exponential function in equation (7). The left-hand axis shows kapp and the right-hand axis and solid circles show knorm. The dose rate was 165 Gy s−1. |
