Polycrystalline amino acids, when irradiated with 2537 Å light, afford a variety of electron spin resonance signals. These signals are generally stable at room temperature for relatively long periods of time. For a number of the spectra obtained, there is evidence that more than one radical species contributes to the observed spectra. The signals obtained frequently differ from those obtained on exposure to ionizing radiation. The postulated species formed can often be visualized as being formed by effective hydrogen abstraction from the alkyl-substituted tertiary carbon atom or from the —OH, —SH or —NH group contained in the side chain. For L-phenylalanine a secondary radical is obtained, which is ascribed to a cyclohexadienyl radical.

Amino acids produced in the γ-radiation-induced carboxylation of pyrrolidine and formate in neutral aqueous solution have been studied. Two products only were found in the ratio 1 : 5.5. The minor product, proline, and the major product, pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid, have been characterized. Their presence indicates that the predominant site of hydrogen abstraction from pyrrolidine by radiation-generated hydroxyl radicals is β to the amino group.

А new way of the free radical ROS- and HOCl-induced destruction of serine, threonine, and their peptide derivatives due to the nitrogen-centered radicals formation and their subsequent decomposition with the side chain elimination has been established. It has been shown that substances with reducing properties are inhibitors of this process, while oxygen does not affect the probability of its occurrence. The data obtained are relevant for the development of novel approaches to the search for effective free radical processes regulators.
