Summary

FREEZE-DRIED PREPARATIONS OF ACTOMYOSIN FROM CHICKEN BREAST MUSCLE WERE IRRADIATED IN LIQUID NITROGEN WITH GAMMA RADIATION FROM A CESIUM-137 SOURCE AT 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, AND 50 KILOGRAYS. ANALYSIS OF DATA INDICATED A TEN-FOLD RISE IN DOSE RESULTED IN AN ALMOST SEVEN-FOLD INCREASE IN NUMBER OF FREE RADICALS GENERATED. DETERMINING THE EXTENT OF SUCH INTERACTION ON A MAJOR STRUCTURAL PROTEIN CAN HELP ASSESS TYPE AND EXTENT OF REACTIONS WHICH MIGHT OCCUR ON IRRADIATION OF ANIMAL PRODUCTS.
