  • Title: Radiation-induced formation of thymine-thymine crosslinks.
    Author: Dizdaroglu M, Simic MG.
    Journal: Int J Radiat Biol Relat Stud Phys Chem Med; 1984 Sep; 46(3):241-6. PubMed ID: 6092292.
    Abstract:
    The formation of dimers upon gamma-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.
