Description

The effect of ethanol on radiation stability of tryptophan during γ-irradiation of its aqueous solutions was investigated. In comparison with radiation losses of tryptophan irradiated in pure water, the losses in aqueous-ethanolic solutions are considerably higher and they increase with increasing ethanol concentration. Basic radiation products of tryptophan formed on irradiation of its aqueous-ethanolic solutions in consequence of the reaction of tryptophan with acetaldehyde as the main product of radiolysis of ethanol were followed by paper electrophoresis.
