The latest achievements are presented in experimental and theoretical studies of resonance
scattering of low-energy (0–15-eV) electrons from molecular targets in a gas phase resulting …

Much effort has been devoted to describing qualitatively and quantitatively electron
scattering processes due to their ever-increasing importance in many industrial and medical …

The sequential quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (S-QM/MM) method efficiently
computes solvent effects on the electronic properties of solutes. The protocol involves two …

5-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-uracil (OTfU), a recently proposed radiosensitizer, is
decomposed in the gas-phase by attachment of low-energy electrons. OTfU is a derivative of …

Low-energy electrons (LEEs) can very efficiently induce bond breaking via dissociative
electron attachment (DEA). While DEA is ubiquitous, the importance of other reactions …

A comprehensive investigation of low-energy electron attachment and electron ionization of
the nimorazole radiosensitizer used in cancer radiation therapy is reported by means of a …

Metronidazole belongs to the class of nitroimidazole molecules and has been considered as
a potential radiosensitizer for radiation therapy. During the irradiation of biological tissue …

Misonidazole (MISO) was considered as radiosensitizer for the treatment of hypoxic tumors.
A prerequisite for entering a hypoxic cell is reduction of the drug, which may occur in the …

The efficient decomposition of nitroimidazoles (NIs) by low energy electrons is believed to
underlie their radiosensitizing properties. Recent dissociative electron attachment (DEA) …

In chemoradiation therapy, dissociative electron attachment (DEA) may play an important
role with respect to the efficiency of the radiosensitizers used. The rational tailoring of such …
