The photophysics and photochemistry of DNA is of great importance due to the potential
damage of the genetic code by UV light. Quantum mechanical studies have played a key …

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 …

Conical intersections allow electronically excited molecules to return to their electronic
ground state. Here, we observe the fastest electronic relaxation dynamics measured to date …

The first book dedicated to this new and powerful computational method begins with a
comprehensive description of MCTDH and its theoretical background. There then follows a …

Ultraviolet light is strongly absorbed by DNA, producing excited electronic states that
sometimes initiate damaging photochemical reactions. Fully map** the reactive and …

A detailed understanding of the properties of electronic excited states and the reaction
mechanisms that molecules undergo after light irradiation is a fundamental ingredient for …

A comprehensive effort in photodynamical ab initio simulations of the ultrafast deactivation
pathways for all five nucleobases adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil is …

Evolution has ensured that plants and animals have developed effective protection
mechanisms against the potentially harmful effects of incident ultraviolet radiation (UVR) …

Nonadiabatic events, in which the Born-Oppenheimer approximation breaks down, are
ubiquitous in chemistry and biology. It is now widely accepted that they are facilitated by …

Conspectus The interaction between light and multichromophoric assemblies (MCAs) is the
primary event of many fundamental processes, from photosynthesis to organic photovoltaics …
