The Effect of N-Ethylmaleimide on the Radiation Sensitivity of Bacteria

SUMMARY: The sensitization of Escherichia coli strain B/r to γ radiation was shown to take place within a few minutes of the addition of N-ethylmaleimide. Sensitization was demonstrated with as little as 0.0001 m-N-ethylmaleimide, but a much higher concentration (> 0.002 m) was necessary for any bac... View More
