In biology, it can be argued that if the genome contains the script for a cell's life cycle, then
the proteome constitutes an ensemble cast of actors that brings these instructions to life …

In this review, recent progress in understanding the direct effects of radiation on the structure
and stability of collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, and other proteins is …

Methods for computing X-ray absorption spectra based on a constrained core hole (possibly
containing a fractional electron) are examined. These methods are based on Slater's …

Metal centers in transition metal–ligand complexes occur in a variety of oxidation states
causing their redox activity and therefore making them relevant for applications in physics …

Oxidation states are integer in number but dn configurations of transition metal centers vary
continuously in polar bonds. We quantify the shifts of the iron L3 excitation energy, within the …

Site-selective dissociation induced by core photoexcitation of biomolecules is of key
importance for the understanding of radiation damage processes and dynamics and for its …

Ion yields following X-ray absorption of the cationic series NHy+ (y= 0–3) were measured to
identify the characteristic absorption resonances in the energy range of the atomic nitrogen …

As an example of symmetry breaking in NEXAFS spectra of protonated species we present a
high resolution NEXAFS spectrum of protonated dinitrogen, the diazynium ion N2H+. By ab …

We have studied soft-x-ray absorption in coronene and in singly hydrogenated coronene
cations. Hydrogenation on the one hand closes the singly occupied molecular orbital of the …

Near-edge X-ray absorption mass spectrometry (NEXAMS) around the nitrogen and oxygen
K-edges was employed on gas-phase peptides to probe the electronic transitions related to …
