Oxidants with free-radical character are wellknown instigators of DNA and RNA damage.
The group includes certain activated antibiotics, metal complexes, redox-active …

This review summarizes results concerning molecular interactions of nucleic acid bases as
revealed by advanced ab initio quantum chemical (QM) calculations published in last few …

Hydrogen-bonded nucleic acids base pairs substantially contribute to the structure and
stability of nucleic acids. The study presents reference ab initio structures and interaction …

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

Properties of isolated intercalators (ethidium (E), daunomycin (D), ellipticine (EL), and 4, 6 '-
diaminide-2-phenylindole (DAPI)) and their stacking interactions with adenine⊙⊙⊙ …

Ground-state dipole-bound anions are fragile molecular species which excess electrons are
almost entirely located in a very diffuse orbital outside the molecular frame. They can be …

We have investigated experimentally the formation of anions and cations of deoxyribose
sugar (C 5 H 10 O 4) via inelastic electron interaction (attachment/ionization) using a …

Gas-phase studies concerning interactions between neutral or charged species in molecular
clusters allow for the investigation of the forces which govern structures and reaction …

We present a detailed study on dissociative electron attachment (DEA) to isolated gas-
phase cytosine (C) and thymine (T). The experimental setup used for these measurements is …

Uracil, thymine, and adenine anions were produced in charge-exchange collisions with
laser-excited Rydberg atoms. Anion creation rates for uracil and thymine exhibit Rydberg …
