DNA charge transport (CT) chemistry has received considerable attention by scientific
researchers over the past 15 years since our first provocative publication on long-range CT …

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 …

This review article provides a concise overview of electron involvement in DNA radiation
damage. The review begins with the various states of radiation-produced electrons …

The SMD implicit solvation model augmented with one and four explicit water molecules
was used to calculate p K a's and redox potentials of N-methyl-substituted nucleic acid …

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 …

Radical cations (holes) produced in DNA by ionizing radiation and other oxidants yield DNA–
protein cross-links (DPCs). Detailed studies of DPC formation in chromatin via this process …

Sensibly modeling (photo) electrocatalytic reactions involving proton and electron transfer
with computational quantum chemistry requires accurate descriptions of protonated …

In this work, it is shown that the incorporation of an 8-deuteroguanine (G*) moiety in DNA-
oligomers allows for direct determination at 77 K of (i) the location of holes (ie, the radical …

Upon one-electron oxidation, all molecules including DNA bases become more acidic in
nature. For the GC base pair, experiments suggest that a facile proton transfer takes place in …

Quantum yields for charge transport across adenine tracts of increasing length have been
measured by monitoring hole transport in synthetic oligonucleotides between photoexcited 2 …
