Comprehensive theoretical and experimental analysis of UV-radiation and
low energy electron induced phenomena in nucleic acid bases (NABs) and
base assemblies are presented in this book. NABs are highly photostable;
the absorbed energy is dissipated in the form of ultrafast nonradiative
decay.
This book highlights the possible mechanisms of these phenomena which is
important for all living species and discusses technical challenges in
exploration of these processes. This volume will be of particular
interest for those involved in understanding the
photophysical/photochemical properties of nucleic acids. All chapters
are written by the world's leading experts, both from the experimental
and computational areas.
