Funded Activity Summary

Joint Theoretical and Experimental Electron Momentum Spectroscopic Studies for DNA Bases. The study of DNA structure is an area of intense research activity and continues to reveal new levels of complexity and diversity. Recent experiments (Science, 2002) provided direct evidences of the adenine non-planarity, indicating non-rigidity of DNA bases. Electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS) has been identified to be an appropriate technique in the study of chemical binding mechanism and orbitals at molecular level. The aims of the project is to study orbitals and interactions of DNA and RNA bases such as adenine, thymine (uracil), guanine and cytosine using momentum space quantum mechanics and EMS experimental techniques. The outcome of the project will improve our understanding of the DNA double helical strand structure.
