gamma-Ray-induced demethylation of thymine in deaerated aqueous solution was observed and quantitatively measured for the first time using thymine-(methyl-14C). An airfree 5 x 10(-5) M aqueous solution was irradiated with doses of 2 x 10(3)-2 x 10(4) Gy. Radio-gaschromatographic analyses provided proof for the formation of methanol (G - 7.6 x 10(-3)), and methane (G = 2.5 x 10(-5)).
首次使用胸腺嘧啶-(甲基-14C)观察并定量测量了γ射线在脱氧水溶液中诱导的胸腺嘧啶脱甲基作用。用2×10³-2×10⁴戈瑞的剂量照射无氧的5×10⁻⁵M水溶液。放射性气相色谱分析为甲醇(G = 7.6×10⁻³)和甲烷(G = 2.5×10⁻⁵)的形成提供了证据。
