S>Results are reponted from electron-spin resonance studies on the effects of ionizing radiations on desoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid as well as on their constituents and the enzymes which attack them, Electron-spin resonance curves are presented for irradiated thymine, uracil, cytosine, 5-methyl eytosine, d-2-deoxyribose, D-ribose, thymidinc, cytidiue, uridine, guanosine, adenosine, desoxyguanosine, desoxyadeflosine, guanylic acid, cytidylic acid, adenylic acid, uridylic acid, desoxyguanylic acid, desoxycytidylic acid, ribonucleic acid, desoxyribonucleic acid, ribonculease, and desoxyribonuclease.
