Kinetic Isotope Effects of RuBisCO carbon, oxygen, and/or hydrogen, though currently only a significant isotope effect is seen for carbon isotope substitution. Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but varying numbers of neutrons. "Lighter" isotopes (like the stable Carbon-12 isotope) have a smaller overall mass, and "heavier" isotopes (like the stable Carbon-13 isotope or radioactive Carbon-14 isotope) have a larger overall mass. Stable isotope geochemistry is concerned with how varying chemical and physical processes preferentially enrich or deplete stable isotopes. Enzymes like RuBisCO cause isotopic fractionation because molecules containing lighter isotopes have higher zero-point energies (ZPE), the lowest possible quantum energy
Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology also manufactures self-luminescent tritium filled sources. The organisation also develops radiation-based medical equipment to treat cancer. BRIT operates three radiation facilities, one of them a spice and allied products irradiation facility in Vashi and another a "Krushak" (Krishi Utpadan Sanrakshan Kendra) radiation processing plant at Nashik. G. Ganesh is BRIT's Chief Executive officer since 1 August 2015, succeeding Anil Kumar Kohli (2006-2015). Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology in short known as "BRIT" is a unit of the Department of Atomic Energy with its headquarters in Navi Mumbai, India. It is involved in production,
