Abstract

Short-lived radicals produced by the reaction of OH· and NH 2· with a number of nucleosides and other compounds were identified by means of the EPR-flow technique. The particularities and differences in the EPR spectra of the nucleosides and the free bases were interpreted in terms of structural alterations caused by the attachment of the sugar. Investigations concerning the compounds 5-bromouracil and caffeine showed that C-6 and C-8, respectively, are the sites of attack.
