Thymidine-like Electron Spin Resonance Spectra in Gamma-irradiated Deoxyribonucleic Acid

Nature volume 200, pages 376–377 (1963)Cite this article

Abstract

SEVERAL investigations dealing with electron spin resonance on irradiated deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) have been described during the past few years1–6, documenting widely different results. It seems likely that these differences could to a large extent be due to the source and mode of preparation of the DNA investigated.
