1.1. The following three phenomena were observed in relation to the inactivation of concentrations of DNase by X-rays:1.1.(a) TheD37dose decreases as the enzyme concentration diminishes and becomes constant in the lower concentration range where 20% of the enzyme (0.5 μg./ml.) was inactivated by 100 r. of x-ray.1.2.(b) The ionic yield decreases with decreasing enzyme concentration. The “dilution effect,” i.e., a constant ionic yield with varying concentrations of solute, is found in the intermediate concentrations of the enzyme (8.14 × 10−5Mand 8.14 × 10−6M).1.3.(c) The degree of enzyme inactivation relative to the x-ray dose is an exponential function at concentrations ranging from 8.14 × 10−9to 8.14 × 10−5M.2.2. The three afore-mentioned phenomena can be interpreted satisfactorily on the basis of the kinetics developed on the assumption of a prevailing steady state.3.3. The ionic yield at concentrations at which the “dilution effect” occurs is about 0.14 and theGvalue at the same range of concentrations is approximately 0.42. The kinetics suggest that only one in 9.3 free radicals which react with one enzyme molecule is effective in causing loss of enzymatic activity.4.4. The deactivation reaction of free radicals, which is the reaction competing with the enzyme for the destruction of the free radicals, was of the first order rather than the second order.5.5. The per cent of the effective free radicals, i.e., 100 times the ratio of free radicals which reacted with the enzyme to total number of free radicals produced, increased with the concentration.
