A recent investigation of azide effects on the radiation-induced chemiluminescence of aqueous dye solutions showed that the azide radical .**GRAPHIC**. is capable of very fast 1-electron oxidation of dyes. The present study investigates the reaction mode of .**GRAPHIC**. with tryptophan and includes preliminary results on the inactivation of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase by azide radicals.
