title: [Effect of the structure of the cell nucleus chromatin on absorption of low-energy beta-radiation emitted from an incorporated source].
abstract: To study the energy absorption in cell nuclei the analysis was made of the level of registration of beta-particles, emitted by the incorporated tritium, using a liquid scintillation counter. It was shown that the treatment, modifying the chromatin structure, changed the number of beta-particles registered. The pattern of the spectral changes indicated that the effect observed was not the result of the quenching processes. The effect was absent when the source of a higher energy (14C) was used. The authors submit the conceptions concerning the mechanisms of the phenomenon observed which are confirmed by the theoretical studies.
