ESR of Gamma Irradiation Damage Centers in Single Crystals of Some Glutamic Acid Derivatives

Abstract

Abstract We have observed four radicals in the ESR spectra of y-irradiated single crystals of some glutamic acid derivatives. These radicals, produced by gamma-irradiation, in single crystals of N-Acetyl-L-Glutamic acid, L-Glutamic acid and DL-Glutamic acid hydrochloride were identified as CH 3 CONH, -C 3 H 5 , -CH, and -NH 2 radicals respectively.
