33. Annual meeting of the Brazilian Society on Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Program and abstracts

Use of radioisotopes and radiation in biology is reported, including metabolism, receptors, cell proliferation, disease diagnosis and disease vectors. Biosynthesis, qualitative chemical analysis and biological pathways are studied by radioassay, nuclear magnetic resonance, spectroscopy, tracer techniques, radionuclide kinetics and labelled compounds (eg. carbon 14, carbon 13, sulfur 35, phosphorus 32, phosphorus 33, tritium compounds). In vivo and in vitro studies are presented. Several aspects related to animals (e.g. rats, mice and habits), plants and microorganisms are reported
