Radiological parameters such as μ{sub m}, σ{sub t}, σ{sub e}, Z{sub eff} and N{sub eff} of amino acids, namely Lysine (C{sub 6}H{sub 15}N{sub 2}O{sub 2}), Histidine (C{sub 6}H{sub 9}N{sub 3}O{sub 2}) and Arginine (C{sub 6}H{sub 15}N{sub 4}O{sub 2}), were measured using NaI (Tl)-based gamma spectrometry. Radioactive sources used in the study are {sup 57}Co, {sup 133}Ba, {sup 137}Cs, {sup 54}Mn, {sup 60}Co and {sup 22}Na. Gamma ray transmission method in a narrow beam good geometry set up was used in the study. The measured data were compared against XCOM-based data. The agreement is within 2%.
