چکیده
It has been shown that the quantum yield of the photochemical conversion of adenine and the corresponding nucleosides and nucleoside 5'-phosphates in liquid (pH 5.6 and 2.0) and frozen aqueous solutions do not exceed 10(-4). The quantum yield of the photoconversion of guanine-containing nucleosides and nucleoside 5'-phosphates in liquid aqueous solution (pH 5.6) after removal of oxygen by passing through nitrogen and in the frozen state do not exceed 0.3 x 10(-4). The quantum yield in oxygen-containing liquid aqueous solutions increase to 0.3 x 10(-3), i.e. to values commensurate with the quantum yield of pyrimidine photolysis.

Electrochemical and Spectroscopic Studies of Interactions of Mn(III) Complexes with Nucleic Bases and Nucleosides
The complexes of Mn(OAc)3 and/or Mn(acac)3 with nucleic bases and nucleosides (adenine, guanine, xanthine, adenosine and guanosine) have been synthesized in nonaqueous solution. Polarographic and spectroscopic (IR and Visible) methods have been used to establish the active site(s) on the imidazole and pyrimidine rings in the nucleic bases and nucleosides for the intera...
متن کاملIonization of purine tautomers in nucleobases, nucleosides, and nucleotides: from the gas phase to the aqueous environment.
We have simulated ionization of purine nucleic acid components in the gas phase and in a water environment. The vertical and adiabatic ionization processes were calculated at the PMP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level with the TDDFT method applied to obtain ionization from the deeper lying orbitals. The water environment was modeled via microsolvation approach and using a nonequilibrium polarizable continuum m...

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are global problems. They are causes of death in about 43% of people worldwide and may become the most widespread reason of death by 2020. The prognosis is directly dependent to immediate diagnosis and on time treatment. Introduction of new biochemical markers as the early diagnosis of complications after coronary revascularization is very important in this p...

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 کاملPhotosensitization of coronene–purine hybrids for photodynamic therapy
Photosensitization properties of coronene-purine (Cor-P) hybrids for photodynamic therapy (PDT) have been investigated in this work. Eight hybrid Cor-P models have been designed by the additional of adenine (A) and guanine (G) nucleobase to Cor species. The evaluated absorption and emission energies indicated that the singular models are not good at all for PDT process whereas their hybrid mode...
