The radiation damage rates to crystals of 15 model macromolecular structures were studied using an automated radiation sensitivity characterization procedure. The diffracted intensity variation with dose is described by a two-parameter model. This model includes a strong resolution-independent decay specific to room-temperature measurements along with a linear increase in overall Debye-Waller f...

AIM On the basis of the cytogenetic research, to develop and validate the strategy of the measures to prevent the stochastic effects of low-doses radiation on humans. METHODS Test system with human peripheral blood lymphocytes, metaphase analysis of chromosomal aberrations was used. Cells were cultured according to the standard procedures with modifications. The analysis of painted chromosome...
