Charge Transfer in DNA

The past few years have witnessed intense research in this fascinating field as well as many controversial discussions. Now the time is ripe for a comprehensive book covering not only theoretical aspects, but also such mechanistic topics as principles and mechanisms of photoinduced charge injection, transport and trapping in DNA, sequence-dependent DNA dynamics, spectroscopic investigations of hole transport and much more.From the contents - Principles and Mechanisms of Photoinduced Charge Injection; Transport and Trapping in DNA; Sequence-Dependent DNA Dynamics: The Regulator of DNA-Mediated Charge; Transport Excess Electron Transfer in DNA Probed with Flavin and Thymine; Dimer Modified Oligonucleotides; Dynamics of Photoinitiated Hole and Electron Injection in Duplex DNA; Spectroscopic Investigation of Oxidative Hole Transfer via Adenine Hopping in DNA; Chemical Probing of Reductive Electron Transfer in DNA Chemical Approach for Modulating Hole Transport in DNA; Spectroscopic Investigation of Charge Transfer in DNA; Spectroscopic Probing of Ultrafast Structural Relaxation and Electron Transfer Dynamics in DNA. Edited by Hans-Achim Wagenknecht, and written by renowned international authors, this book provides an excellent overview with high quality contributions, making it a 'must-have' for everyone working in the field.
