[Effect of radiation on the structure of model and natural biomembranes using differential scanning calorimetry]. / Issledovanie vliianiia radiatsii na strukturu model'nykh i prirodnykh biomembran metodom differentsial'noi skaniruiushchei kalorimetrii.

A novel method of DSC studies of biomembranes has been proposed, making it possible to investigate the influence of ionizing radiations upon the structure of water dispersions of phospholipids and phospholipid-based systems of natural origin, e.g., rat liver homogenates and erythrocyte ghosts. It is shown that in certain concentration range of the bonded water thermograms obtained are reproducible during heating and cooling cycles and can give information about phase state, supramolecular ordering and radiation sensitivity of the systems under consideration.
