Summary

The formation of dimers upon γ-irradiation of thymine, thymidine and thymidine-5′-monophosphate in N2O-saturated aqueous solution is reported. A method using capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was developed for their separation and identification. Quantitative measurements reveal that about 50 per cent of OH adduct radicals of thymine undergo dimerization.
