The only significant product obtained by gamma irradiation of tyrosine in aqueous solution was 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa). G (dopa) was 1.0 in aerated solution, 0.9 in N 2O-saturated solutions, and less than 0.1 in deaerated solution. Pulse irradiation of a N 2O-saturated solution gave G (dop...
