Effects of interaction of photosensitizer with DNA and stacked G bases on photosensitized one-electron oxidation of DNA
Article Abstract:
Three naphthalimide (NI) derivatives as the photosensitizer for the G-selective oxidation are synthesized and the mechanism of the photosynthesized one-electron oxidation of DNA by the NI derivatives is examined. The findings indicate that the charge- separation efficiency increased for the sequence of the sequential G's because of the oxidation potential of G lowered y stacking effect of the G's.

Ab initio modeling of the spatial electronic, and vibrational structure of Schiff base models for visual photoreceptors
Article Abstract:
The relation between the spatial ground-state structure and the electronic and vibrational spectroscopic properties of neutral and protonated 11-cis-retinal Schiff base models within the density functional theory framework are accessed. For the protonated models the calculations revealed a polaronic conjugation defect in the ground state in the Schiff base region.
