Abstract
Single crystals of thymidine (Td) and 1-methylthymine (1MT) have been studied using ESR, ENDOR and FSE techniques subsequent to x-irradition at 8 K. Four base-centered radicals were identified in both systems. In addition, an alkoxy radical and a Cl1 H-abstraction radical were observed in Td (Sagstuen et al. 1989).
