Definitions related to pulse radiolysis:
-
Pulse Radiolysis is a technique of exposing a sample of material to a beam of highly accelerated electrons to initiate fast reaction events occurring between 10-11 and 102 s after energy absorption. The technique is used to study fast reactions of biologically important molecules, e.g. the kinetics and thermodynamics of redox processes and electron-transfer reactions, enzymatic processes and structural effects which are revealed by physical or kinetic properties.NCI ThesaurusU.S. National Cancer Institute, 2021
-
Use of a pulse of X-rays or fast electrons to generate free radicals for spectroscopic examination.CRISP ThesaurusNational Institutes of Health, 2006
