Abstract

Low-dose gamma-radiation produces subtle effects on bovine gamma-globulin, as revealed by calorimetric investigations carried out on concentrated aqueous solutions. The irradiation rate used seems below the threshold that allows complete protein denaturation; the denaturation temperature, T(d), remained unaffected; nonetheless, modifications of the shape of the calorimetric signal reveal that other changes, such as the dissociation of protein oligomers, could take place.
