[Mutagenic action of tritium on the germ cells of male mice. II. The genetic damages in stem spermatogonia induced by tritium oxide and gamma radiation].

The frequency of reciprocal translocations (RT) induced by single injection of tritiated water (THO) (3.3; 6.3 and 12.6 MBq/g) or by referent 137Cs gamma irradiation was studied. The absorbed doses in testis were: 1; 2 and 4 Gr. The frequency of RT per 100 cells were 0.4; 1.1 and 2.5 after THO administration, and 0,5; 0.9 and 1.2 after single exposure to gamma irradiation, respectively. The RBE of tritium increased from 1 at the dose of 1 Gr to 2, at the dose of 4 Gr.

[Study of the three-dimensional structure of proteins by means of tritium labeling. II. Intramolecular distribution of tritium in the N-terminal part of myoglobin and the tertiary structure of protein].

The possible use of the method of 3H-label introduction by means of a 3H-atom beam for investigating the three-dimensional structure (surface) of proteins was studied. The intramolecular distribution of tritium in the N-terminal part of 3H-labelled sperm-whale myoglobin was studied. The results obtained are in good agreement with the X-ray analysis data on the polypeptide chain of the protein molecule. The possible use of this method for constructing precise three-dimensional models of polypeptides and proteins is discussed.

Tissue free water tritium and organically bound tritium in the rice plant acutely exposed to atmospheric HTO vapor under semi-outdoor conditions.

Potted rice plants were exposed to atmospheric HTO in a box outdoors for 1 h at 9 different times from booting to yellow-ripe stages. It is indicated that the leaf TFWT concentration may reach equilibrium within 1 h in clear weather. The plant TFWT concentration decreased at a rapid rate for the first several hours and at a much slower rate thereafter. The decrease till harvest was by factors of 600-95,000 depending on the plant parts and exposure times. The time course of the ear OBT concentration was characterized by the exposure time. After exposure at the booting to heading stages, the leaf OBT concentration decreased rapidly for the first several hours and then very slowly. The plant OBT concentration was initially about 2 orders of magnitude lower, but at harvest an order of magnitude higher, than the TFWT concentration. The OBT concentration in hulled seeds at harvest varied with exposure times by a factor of 70, being highest in the exposure performed at the earlier stage of rapid grain growth. Also in this exposure, the plant total OBT was greatest due to the seed OBT.
