title: Determination of 18O trapping in X-irradiated amino acids by means of nuclear reactions.
abstract: Nuclear reactions have been used for the quantitative study of X-irradiation-induced binding of the stable oxygen isotope 18O by several amino acids in the dry state. The measurements demonstrate that the new method is a powerful tool for investigating radical yields.
