In this review, noncovalent interactions of ions with neutral molecules are discussed. After
defining the scope of the article, which excludes anionic and most protonated systems …

The Watson–Crick structure of DNA is among the most well-known molecular structures of
our time. However, alternative base-pairing motifs are also known to occur, often depending …

The gas-phase structures of alkali metal cation-cytosine complexes generated by
electrospray ionization are probed via infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action …

Oxidation of the nucleobases is of great concern for the stability of DNA strands and is
considered as a source of mutagenesis and cancer. However, precise spectroscopy data, in …

The chemistry of singlet O2 toward the guanine base of DNA is highly relevant to DNA
lesion, mutation, cell death, and pathological conditions. This oxidative damage is initiated …

Accurate information about interactions between group I metals and nucleic acids is
required to understand the roles these metals play in basic cellular functions, disease …

Understanding how lithium interacts with complex biosystems is crucial for uncovering the
roles of this alkali metal in biology and designing extraction techniques for battery …

IRMPD spectroscopy and computational chemistry techniques have been used to determine
that the proton-and sodium-bound dimers of proline exist as a mixture of a number of …

Gas‐phase interactions between Pb2+ ions and cytosine (C) were studied by combining
tandem mass spectrometry, infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy, and density …

Binding of metal cations to the nucleobases can influence base pairing, base stacking and
nucleobase tautomerism. Gas-phase condensation of dc discharge generated alkali metal …
