Abstract
- The resonance capture of ubiquitous very low energy electrons (vLEEs) into the π* orbitals of nucleobases is a potential doorway to DNA damage. Our ab initio quantum chemical calculations reveal a possible protection function, which is specific to the complementary basepairing, against such vLEE induced DNA damage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
