Iodine incorporated in cell constituents during sensitization to radiation by iodoacetic acid

M A Shenoy et al. Science. .

Abstract

Iodine atoms are incorporated in bacterial membrane proteins when cells are irradiated in the presence of iodoacetic acid labeled with iodine-131. Such atoms are produced on reaction of iodoacetic acid with the gamma ray-induced hydroxyl radicals in the surrounding medium.
