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 paper describes keV ion interactions with bio-molecules and organisms by illustrating
the general concepts and discussing emerging applications. We begin with a systematic …

Intermolecular static and dynamic fluorescence quenching constants of eight coumarin
derivatives by nucleobase derivatives have been determined in aqueous media. One …

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 …

Introduction Oxidative damage to DNA in vivo can lead to mutations and cancer. DNA
damage and repair studies have not yet revealed whether permanent oxidative lesions are …

DNA in 10 mM phosphate buffer solutions (pH 7.0) upon exposure to visible light for various …

The reduction potentials in aqueous solutionof the pyrimidine bases, nucleosides,
andnucleotides of uracil (U) and thymine (T) were determined using the technique of pulse …

We have measured the electron energy dependence for production of a great variety of
anion fragments, induced by resonant attachment of subionization electrons to thymine (T) …

Proton-transfer reactions in two DNA base pair anion and cation radicals are treated by
density functional theory to aid our understanding of the possible contributions of these …

Single and double proton-transfer reactions in Watson− Crick Guanine− Cytosine (GC) and
Adenine− Thymine (AT) radical cations have been studied using the hybrid density …
