After gamma irradiation of cytosine in aerated aqueous solution, yields of chemical radiation products belonging to the deamination pathway were measured. Primary stable radiolysis products, such as 5,6-dihydroxy-5,6-dihydro-uracil cis and trans forms, were present with G values lower than those obtained in the radiolysis of uracil irradiated under the same conditions. Cytosine had the same radiosensitivity as uracil (G= -2.49).
