The disulfide anion radical produced by x irradiation in single crystals of L-cystine dihydrobromide dihydrate was characterized from ESR and ENDOR measurements. The g tensor of the absorption and the hyperfine coupling tensors of four ..beta.. protons were determined. The hyperfine and quadrupole coupling tensors of a weakly interacting bromine nucleus were also deduced from ENDOR measurements. The distribution of spin density as inferred from anisotropic parts of the proton hyperfine couplings is discussed.
