Surface-Enhanced Hyper-Raman Spectra of Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil
Using picosecond excitation at 1064 nm, surface-enhanced hyper-Raman scattering (SEHRS) spectra of the nucleobases adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil with two different types of silver nanoparticles were obtained. Comparing the SEHRS spectra with SERS data from the identical samples excited at 532 nm and with known infrared spectra, the major bands in the spectra are assigned. Due ...
متن کاملStructure of Stacked Dimers of N-Methylated Watson–Crick Adenine–Thymine Base Pairs
The structure of two isomeric stacked dimers of Watson-Crick 9-methyladenine1-methylthymine pairs was fully optimized using an approximate density functional theory (DFT) method augmented with an empirical dispersion interaction. The results of the calculations reveal that head-to-tail (AT-TA) and head-to-head (AT-AT) dimers possess a significantly different geometry. The structure of both comp...
متن کاملInfrared Signatures of Proton Transfer in Guanine⋅Cytosine and Adenine⋅Thymine Base Pairs: DFT Study
The structures of all stable tautomers of guanine⋅cytosine and adenine⋅thymine Watson–Crick base pairs produced by single and double proton transfers from the most stable structures are optimized using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. The zwitterionic tautomer of guanine⋅cyosine is stable in a high-dielectric medium (water), but not in the gas phase. Normal mode ca...
متن کاملElectronic coupling mediated by stacked [Thymine-Hg-Thymine] base pairs.
Very recently it has been shown that stable metal-mediated base pairs [Thymine-Hg-Thymine] can form in DNA. To estimate the effect of such pairs on the efficiency of charge transfer through DNA, we carry out quantum mechanical calculations of double-stranded pi-stacks GXG, GXXG, and GXXXG, where X = [Thymine-Hg-Thymine] and stacks GT(n)G of canonical base pairs. The charge-transfer efficiency i...
متن کاملElectronic structure of adenine and thymine base pairs studied by femtosecond electron-ion coincidence spectroscopy.
Femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy was combined with photoelectron-photoion coincidence detection to investigate the electronic structure and dynamics of isolated adenine (A) and thymine (T) dimers and the adenine-thymine (AT) base pair. The photoelectron spectra show that pipi* and npi* states are only weakly perturbed in the hydrogen-bound dimers as compared to the monomers. For cationic bas...
