Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies were performed on free radicals formed upon X ray irradiation on DNA, its constituents and model compounds like fluorouracil and its derivatives. One aim of this thesis was to understand the much debated mechanism of radical formation in irradiated frozen aqueous solutions of DNA. In things matrix, DNA separates from the bulk ice as an inhomogeneous mass and mimics biological conditions. Fluorouracil (FU) and its derivatives were used as model compounds utilizing the large fluorine hyperfine splitting as a tool of radical identification. Glassy low temperature matrices were employed for comparison with frozen aqueous solutions. Electron scavengers like Na2S2O8 and K3Fe[CN]6 were used to enhance the cont...
