Radiolysis of Aqueous Solutions of Sugar Phosphates

Authors: N. K. Kochetkov, L. I. Kudrjashov, M. A. Chlenov, L. P. Grineva The mechanism of the radiation-induced dephosphorylation reaction was investigated by studying the γ-radiolysis of 10mM solutions of D-glucopyranosyl phosphate, D-glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P), and d-ribose 5-phosphate (Rib-5-P). Dephosphorylation occurred with OH-radical participation, since G(H3PO4) values for nitrous oxide-saturated solutions were 4.1, 1.7, and 2.3, and for nitrogen-saturated solutions…
