Low-energy auger- and photo-electron effects on the degradation of thymine by ultrasoft X-irradiation

Akamatsu, Ken; Fujii, Kentaro; Yokoya, Akinari

International Journal of Radiation Biology, 80(11-12), p.849 - 853, 2004/11

The productions of stable/unstable thymine radicals produced by monochromatic ultrasoft X (USX)- or $$^{60}$$Co $$gamma$$-rays were studied using EPR spectroscopy. EPR experiment of thymine was performed using a newly developed X-band EPR device installed in a JAERI soft X-ray beamline (BL23SU) in SPring-8. The sample pellet was irradiated with USX photons at a microwave in a vacuum chamber. EPR measurements of a thymine powder pellet irradiated with USX around 500 eV at 77 K and RT. As a reference, $$^{60}$$Co g-irradiation to the pellet was also performed at RT. As the results, following three findings are obtained: (1) An unstable radical appearing only in situ USX-irradiation is observed. And the radical is clearly distinguished with other stable radicals remaining after irradiation. (2) The signal of the unstable radical is a strong singlet, which vanishes after irradiation immediately.

Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the decomposition products that arise from the exposure of thymine to monochromatic ultrasoft X-rays and $$^{60}$$Co $$gamma$$-rays in the solid state

Akamatsu, Ken; Fujii, Kentaro; Yokoya, Akinari

HPLC analyses were performed for condensed thymine irradiated with monochromatic synchrotron ultrasoft X-rays (USX) in the energy region around N and O K-edges. $$^{60}$$Co $$gamma$$-rays were used as a reference radiation. The radiation chemical dose-response of each separated thymine decomposition product was also determined. Uracil, 5-(hydroxymethyl)uracil, 5,6-dihydrothymine, 5-formyluracil and four main unknown products were found in the HPLC chromatogram of the USX sample irradiated in vacuo. Similar spectra of the products were also found in the $$gamma$$-ray experiment, however, some unknown products appeared after elution of thymine peak were significantly larger than those in the USX experiment. This result indicates the difference in radiation quality.
