Sodium glutamate and sodium benzoate were found to protect protein reactions from radiation damage. The behavior of the viscosity changes was determined. The experimental equation for the protective effect is given by η red (∞) = a (log X) 2 + b(log X) + c, where η red (∞) is the reduced viscosity of the solution at infinite time X is the concentration of the radiation protectors, and a , b , and c are adjustable constants.
