Mutagenicity of a unique thymine-thymine dimer or thymine-thymine pyrimidine pyrimidone (6-4) photoproduct in mammalian cells [PDF]
The mutagenic properties of UV-induced photoproducts, both the cis-syn thymine-thymine dimer (TT) and the thymine-thymine pyrimidine pyrimidone (6-4) photoproduct [T(6-4)T] were studied in mammalian cells using shuttle vectors. A shuttle vector able to replicate in both mammalian cells and bacteria was produced in its single-stranded DNA form. A unique

Investigation of the spin-forbidden process in thymine [PDF]
The intersystem crossing rate from the lowest singlet to the lowest triplet state of thymine was studied by means of the ab initio methods. The rate was calculated employing the time-dependent approach based on the correlation function.

Threshold behavior in metastable dissociation of multi-photon ionized thymine and uracil [PDF]
Microsecond-timescale HNCO loss has been observed from single-color multi-photon ionized pyrimidine nucleobases in the gas phase. Photon energy thresholds for the metastable channels have been measured at 5.55 ± 0.02 eV for thymine and 5.57 ± 0.02 eV for

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of DNA bases [PDF]
A Raman microprobe has been used to measure the surface-enhanced Raman spectra of adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. Comparison of the SERS spectrum with solution spectra shows that some line positions are not influenced by the adsorption process ...

Stabilities of nanohydrated thymine radical cations: insights from multiphoton ionization experiments and ab initio calculations [PDF]
Multi-photon ionization experiments have been carried out on thymine-water clusters in the gas phase. Metastable H2O loss from T+(H2O)n was observed at n ≥ 3 only.

Non-Empirically Tuned Range-Separated DFT Accurately Predicts Both Fundamental and Excitation Gaps in DNA and RNA Nucleobases [PDF]
Using a non-empirically tuned range-separated DFT approach, we study both the quasiparticle properties (HOMO-LUMO fundamental gaps) and excitation energies of DNA and RNA nucleobases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil).

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...
