On the capturing of low-energy electrons by DNA.

Abstract:

:Many of the mutagenic or lethal effects of ionization radiation can be attributed to damage caused to the DNA by low-energy electrons. To gain insight on the parameters affecting this process, we measured the low-energy electron (<2 eV) transmission yield through self-assembled monolayers of short DNA oligomers. The electrons that are not transmitted are captured by the layer. Hence, the transmission reflects the capturing efficiency of the electrons by the layer. The dependence of the capturing probability on the base sequence was studied, as was the state of the captured electrons. It is found that the capturing probability scales with the number of G bases in the single-stranded oligomers and depends on their clustering level. Using two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy, we find that, once captured, the electrons do not reside on the bases. Rather, the state of the captured electrons is insensitive to the sequence of the oligomer. Double-stranded DNA does not capture electrons as efficiently as single-stranded oligomers; however, once captured, the electrons are bound more strongly than to the single strands.
