Glycine anion controversy • Steady-state -radiolysis (1985) showed large yields of CO2 at high pH, which suggests large yields of CH2NH2 radicals H2N-CH2-CO2-+OH CO2 + CH2NH2 +OH- • Steady-state electron radiolysis with ESR detection (1971) saw only the capto-dative stabilized NH2-CH-CO2-radical, among the possible C-centered radicals from glycine anions

Oxidation of Amino Acids - Summary • TRESR resolved controversy over the fate of the radicals following the radiolytic oxidation of glycine anions • Showed presence of CH2NH2 • Showed the “immediate” formation of the C-centered radicals • Directly detected aminyl radicals in a-methyl alanine • Advantages of TRESR for these problems • TRESR permitted the detection of short-lived radicals • Developed methodology of measuring the yield of radicals
