Ultrafast excited-state dynamics in nucleic acids.
The scope of this review is the nature and dynamics of the singlet excited electronic states created in nucleic acids and their constituents by UV light. Interest in the UV photochemistry of nucleic acids has long been the motivation for photophysical studies of the excited states, because these states are at the beginning of the complex chain of events that culminates in photodamage. UV-induce...
متن کاملUltrafast excited-state dynamics of phenyleneethynylene oligomers in solution.
The excited-state dynamics of oligomeric phenyleneethynylenes (OPEs) of various length and substitution has been investigated by femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy. The fluorescence lifetime of the OPEs decreases with the number of phenyleneethynylene units up to about 9. This effect is due to an increase of the oscillator strength for the S(1)-S(0) transition. Dynamic features occurring wi...
متن کاملUltrafast excited-state dynamics of oxazole yellow DNA intercalators.
The excited-state dynamics of the DNA intercalator YO-PRO-1 and of three derivatives has been investigated in water and in DNA using ultrafast fluorescence spectroscopy. In the free form, the singly charged dyes exist both as monomers and as H-dimers, while the doubly charged dyes exist predominantly as monomers. Both forms are very weakly fluorescent: the monomers because of ultrafast nonradia...
متن کاملChemomechanical Coupling of Molecular Motors
Living cells contain a large number of molecular motors: membrane pumps, stepping motors, growing filaments, and molecular assemblers such as polymerases and ribosomes. In many cases, these nanomachines are driven by the energy released from fuel molecules such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The coupling of the motor to these nonequilibrium reactions provides energy which is converted into co...
متن کاملUltrafast dynamics of laser-excited solids
Ultrafast dynamical processes in solids may be triggered, studied and even manipulated with help of ultrashort laser pulses. Also for materials processing there is an enormous potential of ultrashort laser pulses. Thus, femtosecond laser–solid interaction is of significant interest to the fields of both basic research and industrial applications. Here, I present results of theoretical considera...
