The structure of nucleotide radicals and their properties can be examined by the effects of chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) created in reversible photoreactions between nucleotides and suitable organic dye molecules. The CIDNP spectra with microsecond time resolution were obtained in photoreactions between purine bases and several dyes. Usually radical reactions such as protonation, deprotonation and termination occur on the microsecond time scale. The intensity and sign of the CIDNP at the aromatic protons of adenosine 5’-monophosphate and guanosine 5’-monophosphate (AMP, GMP) was studied depending on the dye and pH value of aqueous solution. From the shape of CIDNP spectra different nucleotide radicals were identified. For GMP and AMP the CIDNP was measured at variable magnetic field (0-7 T). From simulation of these field dependencies g-factors of the short-lived neutral, anionic and cationic forms of the nucleotide radicals were determined. These results contribute to the understanding of radical formation of nucleotides. In addition, the use of CIDNP effects for studying the structure of nucleic acids and the mobility of their bases will be discussed.
