Electron Attachment to Nucleotides in Aqueous Solution

Abstract

Understanding DNA strand breaks: The study of electron attachment to the nucleotides 5′-dTMPH and 5′-dTMP− (see figure) in aqueous solution demonstrates that the electron affinities of nucleotides are nearly independent of the existence of counterions in aqueous solution.
