Interaction of low-energy electrons with the purine bases, nucleosides, and nucleotides of DNA.
The authors report results from computational studies of the interaction of low-energy electrons with the purine bases of DNA, adenine and guanine, as well as with the associated nucleosides, deoxyadenosine and deoxyguanosine, and the nucleotide deoxyadenosine monophosphate. Their calculations focus on the characterization of the pi* shape resonances associated with the bases and also provide g...
متن کاملReactivity of prehydrated electrons toward nucleobases and nucleotides in aqueous solution
DNA damage induced via dissociative attachment by low-energy electrons (0 to 20 eV) is well studied in both gas and condensed phases. However, the reactivity of ultrashort-lived prehydrated electrons ([Formula: see text]) with DNA components in a biologically relevant environment has not been fully explored to date. The electron transfer processes of [Formula: see text] to the DNA nucleobases G...
متن کاملInteraction of low-energy electrons with the pyrimidine bases and nucleosides of DNA.
We report computed cross sections for the elastic scattering of slow electrons by the pyrimidine bases of DNA, thymine and cytosine, and by the associated nucleosides, deoxythymidine and deoxycytidine. For the isolated bases, we carried out calculations both with and without the inclusion of polarization effects. For the nucleosides, we neglect polarization effects but estimate their influence ...
متن کاملCalculation and evaluation of energy deposition and S-value caused by low-energy electrons in a multicellular model using Geant4-DNA
Today, targeted radiation therapy (TRT) methods for cancer treatment, besides the goal of completely destroying the target tumor, attempts to prevent nearby healthy cells from exposure to ionizing radiation as far as possible. Hence, short-range charged particles, such as low-energy electrons that are suited to achieving these two goals together, play an important role in TRT and so, adoption o...

امنیت انرژی به معنی عرضه مداوم و پایدار همراه با قیمت های معقول در حامل های انرژی، که تهدیدات امنیتی، سیاسی، اقتصادی، محیط زیستی و روانی را کاهش دهد. امروزه نفت و گاز تنها، کالای تجاری نیست بلکه بعنوان ابزار سیاسی مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد.اختلاف میان روسیه و اکراین بر سر انرژی در ژانویه 2006، تهدیدی برای امنیت انرژی اروپا ایجاد کرد. در این تحقیق ما تلاش کردیم که نقش انرژی آسیای میانه و قفقاز ر...
