Фрагментация молекулы глютамина электронным ударом

Using the mass-spectrometric analysis technique, formation of the ionic products of the single and dissociative ionization of the glutamine molecule (C5H10N2O3) at its interaction with the low (70 eV) and high (11.5 MeV) energy electrons has been studied. The experimental mass-spectra of the above molecule measured at different irradiation doses (5, 10 and 20 kGy) and the near-threshold areas of the ionic fragment yield functions have been analyzed, the absolute ion fragment appearance energies have been found. The three-electrode electron gun and the electron accelerator (microtron) were used as the electron beam sources. The analysis of the behaviour of the measured glutamine molecule mass-spectra irradiated at the above doses demonstrates, as compared to the irradiated molecule mass-spectrum, that the high-energy irradiation of the initial molecule results in the irreversible changes of its structure.
