Studies were made of the paramagnetic resonance spectra of gamma - irradiated nucleic acids, subjected to denaturation and to various chemical modifications. An increase was demonstrated in the yield of free radicals on gamma -irradiation, as a result of these treatments. The results confirm previous observations on the part played by the regular lattice of hydrogen bonds in radiation denaturization of biopolymers. (auth)
