How Does Thymine DNA Survive Ultrafast Dimerization Damage?
The photodimerization reaction between the two adjacent thymine bases within a single strand has been the subject of numerous studies due to its potential to induce DNA mutagenesis and possible tumorigenesis in human skin cells. It is well established that the cycloaddition photoreaction takes place on a picosecond time scale along barrierless or low barrier singlet/triplet pathways. However, t...
متن کاملSolvent effects on the ultrafast nonradiative deactivation mechanisms of thymine in aqueous solution: excited-state QM/MM molecular dynamics simulations.
On-the-fly excited-state quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics molecular dynamics (QM/MM-MD) simulations of thymine in aqueous solution are performed to investigate the role of solvent water molecules on the nonradiative deactivation process. The complete active space second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) method is employed for a thymine molecule as the QM part in order to provide a reliabl...
متن کاملStepwise photosensitized thymine dimerization mediated by an exciton intermediate
Abstract Cyclobutane thymine dimerization is the most prominent DNA photoinduced damage. While the ultrafast mechanism that proceeds in the singlet manifold is nowadays well established, the triplet-state pathway is not completely understood. Here we report the underlying mechanism of the photosensitized dimerization process in the triplet state. Quantum chemical calculations, combined with wav...
متن کاملUltrafast deactivation processes in the 2-aminopyridine dimer and the adenine-thymine base pair: similarities and differences.
2-Aminopyridine dimer has frequently been used as a model system for studying photochemistry of DNA base pairs. We examine here the relevance of 2-aminopyridine dimer for a Watson-Crick adenine-thymine base pair by studying UV-light induced photodynamics along two main hydrogen bridges after the excitation to the localized (1)pi pi(*) excited-state. The respective two-dimensional potential-ener...
متن کاملSinglet excited state dynamics of uracil and thymine derivatives: A femtosecond fluorescence upconversion study in acetonitrile
The excited state properties of uracil, thymine and four analogous uracil compounds have been studied in acetonitrile by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy. The excited state lifetimes were measured using femtosecond UV fluorescence upconversion. The excited state lifetimes of uracil and its 1and 3-methyl substituted derivatives are well described by one ultrafast (6100 fs) component. ...
