Cross section calculations for electron scattering from DNA and RNA bases.
Differential and integral cross sections for elastic electron collisions with uracil, cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine have been calculated using the independent atom method with a static-polarization model potential for incident energies ranging from 50 to 4000 eV. Total cross sections for single electron-impact ionization of selected DNA and RNA bases have also been calculated with the ...
متن کاملLow-energy electron scattering from DNA and RNA bases: shape resonances and radiation damage.
Calculations are carried out to determine elastic-scattering cross sections and resonance energies for low-energy electron impact on uracil and on each of the DNA bases (thymine, cytosine, adenine, and guanine), for isolated molecules in their equilibrium geometry. Our calculations are compared with the available theory and experiment. We also attempt to correlate this information with experime...
متن کاملHydration energy of Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine : Monte Carlo simulation
The hydration of biomolecules is vitally important in molecular biology, so in this paper thesolvation energy and radial distribution function of DNA bases have been calculated by theMonte Carlo simulation.The geometries of isolated Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thyminehave been optimized using 6-31+G(d,p) basis function sets. These geometries then will be used inthe Monte Carlo calculation o...
متن کاملInteraction of low-energy electrons with the pyrimidine bases and nucleosides of DNA.
We report computed cross sections for the elastic scattering of slow electrons by the pyrimidine bases of DNA, thymine and cytosine, and by the associated nucleosides, deoxythymidine and deoxycytidine. For the isolated bases, we carried out calculations both with and without the inclusion of polarization effects. For the nucleosides, we neglect polarization effects but estimate their influence ...
متن کاملTotal electron-scattering cross sections of pyrimidine
Total electron-scattering cross sections of pyrimidine, the basic component for the nucleic bases cytosine and thymine, were measured for electron energies from 5 eV to 1 keV using the linear transmission method. The measured results were compared to semiempirical data obtained by means of the additivity rule and to experimental data for benzene since it has a similar ring structure and the sam...
