Abstract Ternary copolymers of the diallyl series were tested for antiradical activity against the stable radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, and the numbers of active antitradical fragments which are present in their macromolecules and which may participate in the free-radical reactions induced by gamma radiation in living organisms were estimated. A correlation was found between the antiradical activity of ternary copolymers and their ability to protect barley seedling roots from mutagenic effects of gamma radiation.
