Electron nuclear dynamics of proton collisions with DNA/RNA bases at ELab=80keV: A contribution to proton cancer therapy research
The reactions: H + B, B = adenine, cytosine, thymine and uracil, at ELab = 80 keV, relevant in proton cancer therapy, are investigated with the simplest-level electron nuclear dynamics (SLEND) and SLEND/KohnSham-density-functional-theory (SLEND/KSDFT) methods. These time-dependent, direct, and non-adiabatic methods utilize nuclear classical mechanics and electronic single-determinantal wavefunc...
متن کاملKinetics of proton-coupled electron-transfer reactions
The kinetics of proton-coupled electron-transfer (pcet) reactions are reported for Mn4O4(O2PPh2)6, 1, and [Mn4O4(O2PPh2)6] , 1 , with phenothiazine (pzH). Both pcet reactions form 1H, by H transfer to 1 and by hydride transfer to 1 . Surprisingly, the rate constants differ by only 25% despite large differences in the formal charges and driving force. The driving force is proportional to the dif...
متن کاملStudies on electron beam induced DNA damage and repair kinetics in lymphocytes by alkaline comet assay
Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation is known to induce oxidative stress followed by damage to critical biomolecules like lipids, proteins and DNA through radiolysis of cellular water. Since radiation has been widely used as an important tool in therapy of cancer, the detailed investigation regarding the DNA damage and repair kinetics would help to predict the radiation sensitivity of cel...
متن کاملStructural Investigation, Proton and Electron Affinities, Gas Phase Basicities, and Ionization Energies of Captopril
Captopril is one of the most significant angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. In spite of numerous experimental and computational studies on its properties, not enough geometrical and thermodynamic data is available on this compound. So, this study aimed to investigate the structural properties and assignment of possible conformers of captopril in the gas-phase. To this end, 1152 unique tr...
متن کاملCoupled proton and electron transfer reactions in cytochrome oxidase.
Cytochrome oxidase catalyzes the four-electron reduction of O2 to water and conserves the substantial free energy of the reaction in the form of a protonmotive force. For each electron, two full charges are translocated across the membrane, resulting in a voltage. One of the mechanisms to generate the charge separation in cytochrome oxidase is via a proton pump. A single reaction cycle can be m...
