In addition, formation of the excited states of DNA anion radicals via electron attachment has been suggested but has never been observed1,19.
In the liquid phase, electron attachment to rT results in the formation of excited rT‒* (i.e., TNI*) or ground state, rT‒, i.e., TNI.
To investigate the electron attachment to rT and the consequent formation of rT‒*, picosecond pulse radiolysis studies were performed in rT solutions (50 500 mM) in DEG.
In addition, our findings establish the quantum states of electrons that are involved in formation of TNI* via ultrafast electron attachment to DNA-components in solution.
No other anion products directly arising from electron attachment to XF6 are observed.
Kopyra, J. Low energy electron attachment to the nucleotide deoxycytidine monophosphate: direct evidence for the molecular mechanisms of electron-induced DNA strand breaks.
Density normalised electron attachment coefficients, α, and electron attachment rate constants, ka, together with product anion branching ratios (for SeF6 and TeF6) are determined as a function of E/N.
In 2000 and onwards, the experimental observations from Sanche and coworkers showed that LEEs were able to cause single strand breaks (SSBs), as well as DSBs via dissociative electron attachment (DEA 8,9.
From the overall nature of the PESs, we inferred that the energy of the lowest excited state of the TNI is located at −0.3 eV (2πσ*) and provides the most likely path for immediate dissociation of rT via electron attachment.
