ESR Study on Radicalic Species on the Irradiation of the Aspartic Acid.

Knowing the way amino acids reacts to ionizing radiation is of great importance due to the fact that those results helps to better understanding of the effects of ionizing radiations on proteins, DNA-protein complexes, and others in which amino acids are the base structure. In the present work was study the behavior of aspartic acid (L, D and DL) at irradiation. The ESR spectrums are presented and a mechanism for the radical disappearance is proposed.
