Abstract: The formation mechanism and subsequent reaction of anion radical of VK3, hasbeen investigated using pulse radiolysis technique.It has been observed that the anion radicalof VK3, with the maximum absorption peak round 340 nm is different from that with the max-imum absorption at 390 nm observed by others, the reasons of this difference has been ini-tially analysed.This paper also explores the protection action of VK3, to some bases of DNA,showing that VK3, itself is a good radiation protector.

Key words: Vitamin K, Electron transfer, Base, Radiation protection, Pulse radiolysis
