Excited States of Proton-bound DNA/RNA Base Homo-dimers: Pyrimidines
arXiv:1506.05643 · doi:10.1021/jp505756a
Abstract
We are presenting the electronic photo fragment spectra of the protonated pyrimidine DNA bases homo-dimers. Only the thymine dimer exhibits a well structured vibrational progression, while protonated monomer shows broad vibrational bands. This shows that proton bonding can block some non radiative processes present in the monomer.
