Photolysis of N-methyl and N-acetyl substituted amino acids. 1976

G H Schnepel, and H Neubacher

Experiments on the production of free radicals in aqueous solutions of N-methyl and N-acetyl substituted amino acids by UV light are reported. The ESR spectra observed at 77 K show that the bond of the CH3- group of these substances is ruptured to a great deal compared with other bond ruptures producing paramagnetic centres. But in N-methyl substituted amino acids the methyl radical is less predominant than in N-acetyl substituted ones. At temperatures higher than 200 K the ESR spectra of all substances studied in our experiments are similar. It is supposed that a radical is formed with an unpaired spin near an oxygen atom.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010782 Photolysis Chemical bond cleavage reactions resulting from absorption of radiant energy. Photodegradation
D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
D014633 Valine A branched-chain essential amino acid that has stimulant activity. It promotes muscle growth and tissue repair. It is a precursor in the penicillin biosynthetic pathway. L-Valine,L Valine
