EFFECT OF X-RADIATION ON AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE

The absorbancy at 260 m mu of a dilute solution of adenosine diphosphate decreases linearly with x ray dose up to 3 x 10/sup 5/ r. The principal ultraviolet-absorbing product is adenine. The concentrations of ADP and adenine in the irradiated solution were measured. Adenosine monophosphate is present only in trace amounts equal to that in control nonirradiated solutions. With combined paper chromatographic and autoradiograph techniques alter the irradiation of uniformly labeled C/sup 14/-ADP, at least seven irradiation products were formed. Irradiation of adenosine mono- and triphosphate under similar conditions also yielded adenine as the principal ultraviolet-absorbing product. (auth)
