Electron Holes in G-Quadruplexes: The Role of Adenine Ending Groups

Electron Holes in G-Quadruplexes: The Role of Adenine Ending Groups

The study deals with four-stranded DNA structures (G-Quadruplexes), known to undergo ionization upon direct absorption of low-energy UV photons. Combining quantum chemistry calculations and time-resolved absorption spectroscopy with 266 nm excitation, it focuses on the electron holes generated in te...
