THE RADIATION DECOMPOSITION OF ADENINE
The radiolysis of 0.1% solutions of adenine in water leads to the formation of two major products: 4,6-diamino-5formamidopyrimidine and 8- hydroxyadenine. The two compounds account for about 80% of the decomposed adenine. Minor products are hypoxanthine and 4-amino-5formamido-6- hydroxypyrimidine. It is probable that all the reactions may occur in intact nucleic acids, and that they may therefore be of importance in radiobiology. (auth)
