Abstract

It is shown that the kinetic plots of the antibody thermoinactivation in semilogarithmic scale are approximated by two straight lines intersecting at a certain angle. The model of the antibody thermoinactivation process is proposed. Both the kinetic characteristics of the process studied at various temperatures and its thermodynamic parameters are calculated.
