Abstract: Photochemical reactions of 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide(4NQO) with methionine-containing dipeptides Met-Met, Ala-Met, Met-Lue and Met-Gly have been studies by using 248 nm laser flash photolysis. The formation of α-alkyl radicals was observed, and their rate constants of formation were obtained. The reaction mechanism that the α-alkyl radicals produced via an electron transfer process between triplet 4NQO and methionine-containing dipeptide was proposed.

Key words: 4-Nitroquinoline1-oxide, Methionine-containing dipeptides, Laser flash photolysis, Electron transfer
