Abstract
The killing efficiencies due to the decay of incorporated H3-thymidine, H3-uridine, and H3-histidine in E. coli 15T-L- have been determined. Decays from H3-thymidine are 2.0 times as effective in producing lethality as those from H3-uridine and 2.5 times as effective as those from H3-histidine. Therefore, it seems that the greater part of damage from H3-thymidine decays is due to chemical changes associated with nuclear transmutation.
