| Abstract: | SummaryElectron spin resonance (E.S.R.) spectroscopy has been used to make quantitative and qualitative measurements on irradiated deoxyribonucleic acid. Radical yields in six different samples are compared with those determined by other workers. The E.S.R. spectrum shows that the radiation produces at least two radical species, and the nature of one of these is discussed in detail. |
