Gas-phase spectroscopy lends itself ideally to the study of isolated molecules and provides
important data for comparison with theory. In recent years, we have seen enormous …

Gas-phase molecular spectroscopy is a natural playground for accurate quantum-chemical
computations. However, the molecular bricks of life (eg, DNA bases or amino acids) are …

Covering the gap between basic textbooks and over-specialized scientific publications, this
is the first reference available to describe this interdisciplinary topic for PhD students and …

Combined density functional and multireference configuration interaction methods have
been employed to explore the ground and low-lying electronically excited states of the most …

The response of DNA and RNA bases to ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been receiving
increasing attention for a number of important reasons:(i) the selection of the building blocks …

We present the excited-state potential energy profiles of the biologically relevant 9H-keto-
amino tautomer of guanine with respect to the radiationless decay via the out-of-plane …

In light of a recently published study on the IR spectroscopy of guanine in He droplets (Choi,
MY; Miller, REJ Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 7320), the present letter proposes a new …

Microwave spectroscopy, considered as the most definitive gas phase structural probe, is
able to distinguish between different conformational structures of a molecule, because they …

The gas-phase structures of protonated peptides are studied by means of resonant infrared
multiphoton dissociation spectroscopy (R-IRMPD) performed with a free electron laser. The …

Empirical, quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations of the role of
a solvent on tautomerism of nucleic acid bases and structure and properties of nucleic acid …
