Factors Affecting the Population of Excited Charge Transfer States in Adenine/Guanine Dinucleotides: A Joint Computational and Transient Absorption Study

Factors Affecting the Population of Excited Charge Transfer States in Adenine/Guanine Dinucleotides: A Joint Computational and Transient Absorption Study

There is compelling evidence that the absorption of low-energy UV radiation directly by DNA in solution generates guanine radicals with quantum yields that are strongly dependent on the secondary structure. Key players in this unexpected phenomenon are the photo-induced charge transfer (<i>CT&...
