Dependence of the radiation-induced aggregation on the dose rates at 293 K. Inserting aluminium plates changed the dose rates. The lysozyme concentration was 5.2 mg ml−1. (a) Radiation-induced aggregation as a function of the dose rate. Below 10 Gy s−1, no appreciable increases in I(0) were observed. (b) The apparent rate of the aggregation, determined by fitting to the exponential function in equation (7). In the dose rate below 10 Gy s−1, there was no apparent dependence. |
