The broadest motivation for exploring electron attachment to biological molecules comes
from their important role in radiation damage. Large quantities of secondary electrons with …

It is well established that exposure of DNA to high-energy radiation results in a variety of
physical and chemical changes in DNA including strand breakage, mutation, and DNA …

When talking about research, I must mention Mrs. Rita Wagner, a superb technician that
looked after my laboratory and the younger Ph. D. students for about 25 years. Some of her …

UV radiation creates excited states in DNA that lead to mutagenic photoproducts.
Photoexcitation of single-stranded DNA can transfer an electron between stacked bases, but …

Despite the fundamental importance of radical‐anion radical‐cation pairs in single‐electron
transfer (SET) reactions, such species are still very rare and transient in nature. Since …

To better understand the cause of the diversity in reported values of the electron affinities
(EAs) for DNA bases, we performed a series of DFT (B3LYP functional) calculations at …

Redox potentials for the DNA nucleobases and nucleosides, various relevant nucleoside
analogues, Watson− Crick base pairs, and seven organic dyes are presented based on …

Covering state-of-the-art advances, novel applications, and future perspectives, this volume
presents new directions on the basic studies of charged particle and photon interactions with …

This work reports ESR studies that identify the favored site of deprotonation of the guanine
cation radical (G•+) in an aqueous medium at 77 K. Using ESR and UV− visible …

Covering: up to 2005In principle, DNA-mediated charge transfer processes can be
categorized as oxidative hole transfer and reductive electron transfer. With respect to the …
