DNA charge transport (CT) chemistry has received considerable attention by scientific
researchers over the past 15 years since our first provocative publication on long-range CT …

Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) catalyze the conversion of nucleotides to
deoxynucleotides in all organisms (eq 1). 1-3 These enzymes play an essential role in DNA …

Electron transfer (ET) from donor to acceptor is often mediated by nuclear-electronic
(vibronic) interactions in molecular bridges. Using an ultrafast electronic-vibrational …

Perylene-3, 4: 9, 10-bis (dicarboximide)(PDI) and its derivatives are robust organic dyes that
strongly absorb visible light and display a strong tendency to self-assemble into ordered …

The spin–orbit charge-transfer-induced intersystem crossing (SOCT-ISC) in Bodipy-
phenoxazine (BDP-PXZ) compact electron-donor/-acceptor dyads was studied. PXZ is the …

Long-range electron transfer may occur via two fundamentally different mechanisms
depending on the combination of electron donor, acceptor, and the bridging medium …

The role of base motions in delocalization and propagation of charge through double helical
DNA must be established experimentally and incorporated into mechanistic descriptions of …

The corpus of electron transfer (ET) theory provides considerable power to describe the
kinetics and dynamics of electron flow at the nanoscale. How is it, then, that nucleic acid …

The transport of charge through the DNA base-pair stack offers a route to carry out redox
chemistry at a distance. Here we describe characteristics of this chemistry that have been …

We present a new computational strategy to evaluate the charge-transfer (CT) parameters
for hole transfer in DNA. On the basis of a fragment-orbital approach, site energies and …
