Radiation Damage to Polypeptides and Proteins in the Solid State: Changes in Amino Acid Composition *

Abstract: Thin layers of synthetic homopolypeptides (poly-α-Ala, -Arg, -Asn, -Asp, -Glu, -His, -Lys and -Tyr) and proteins (myoglobin, concanavalin A, trypsin-inhibitor) were irradiated under solid state conditions in an electron microscope with 100 keV electrons. Radiolytic changes were investigated by amino acid analysis. The results are discussed in terms of the relative radiosensitivities of the constituent amino acids, and possible topochemical effects on the sensitivity pattern emerging. An attempt is also made to… Show more

“…In aspartic and glutamic acids, the formation of a C‐centered radical adjacent to the side‐chain carboxy group is readily observed . Intramolecular radical transfer in 46 under formation of the carboxyl radical 47 leads to a protein‐bound alanyl radical 48 after decarboxylation . The analogous reaction of glutamic acid leads to α‐amino butyric acid …”

“…In Asparagin‐ und Glutaminsäure werden leicht C‐zentrierte Radikale neben der Carboxygruppe in der Seitenkette gebildet . Nach intramolekularem Radikaltransfer im Radikal 46 unter Bildung des Carboxylradikals 47 und folgender Decarboxylierung resultiert ein proteingebundenes Alanylradikal 48 (Schema ) . Die analoge Reaktion der Glutaminsäure führt zu α‐Aminobuttersäure …”
