Radiation-induced formation of thymine-thymine crosslinks. 1984

M Dizdaroglu, and M G Simic

The formation of dimers upon gamma-irradiation of thymine, thymidine and thymidine-5'-monophosphate in N2O-saturated aqueous solution is reported. A method using capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was developed for their separation and identification. Quantitative measurements reveal that about 50 per cent of OH adduct radicals of thymine undergo dimerization.

D005720 Gamma Rays Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
