Protective action of dithiothreitol duringγ-irradiation of nitrogenase

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Division of chemical science Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Dithiothreitol has a protective action when nitrogenase is irradiated with60Coγ -radiation in doses ranging from 20 to 1500 kR.

  2. 2.

    The irradiation of nitrogenase with increasing doses ofγ -radiation is accompanied by a decrease in the concentration of the SH groups.

  3. 3.

    From the amperometric titration data it was concluded that both exposed and difficultly accessible sulfhydryl groups are present in nitrogenase.
