Decomposition and oxidation of methionine and tryptophan following irradiation with a nonequilibrium plasma jet and applications for killing cancer cells

Abstract We present evidence for the decomposition and oxidation of amino acids in aqueous solution following irradiation with a nonequilibrium plasma jet. Of 15 amino acids tested in cell culture medium, plasma irradiation induced a marked chemical change in methionine and tryptophan due to the eff...
