On the identity of the radiation-induced stable alanine radical

Abstract

Using periodic DFT calculations, it is concluded that the stable radiation-induced alanine radical most probably is the result of reductive deamination and protonation of the detached amino group, yielding an NH4+ ammonium ion and a negatively charged radical.
