Abstract
THE unique role of sulphur in radiation damage is amply borne out by recent electron paramagnetic resonance work1–3. In a current investigation on the mechanism of action of the sulphur-containing radio-protective compounds, quantitative electron paramagnetic resonance studies have been carried out on a series of irradiated thiols and disulphides.
