Abstract excerpt
The values of the oxygen effect (m) and maximum radioprotective effect of cysteamine (DMF*) have been determined for the following Escherichia coli strains: AB1157 (the wild type), AB1886 (uvrA), AB2463 (recA), and p3478 (polA). Three mechanisms are shown to be responsible for the protective effect of cysteamine, they are: (1) anoxia, (2) diminution of the indirect effect, (3) an increased efficiency of enzyme...
