Radiation Threshold Damageability of Cells Depending on the Availability of the Cell Nucleus

Abstract:

The paper describes biophysical processes occurring in membranes under the influence of alpha-radiation of radon isotopes. The basic idea is to experimentally detect the effects of radiation damage to cells of the α-particle with energy of 5.5 MeV, and in particular, to determine the dependence threshold in a function of the "dose-effect" in the presence of DNA molecules into cells. Actuality of work related to the fact that up to now remains open the problem – is whether damageability of radioactive radiation threshold or without threshold phenomenon. It was found that the irradiation of biological models of cells - liposomes and spherosomes uniquely showed the lack threshold of damageability. Irradiation red blood cells not having a cell nucleus, occurs as a threshold phenomenon. Finally, the irradiation of the lactic acid bacteria occurs with a high threshold
