Ionization of dimethyluracil dimers leads to facile proton transfer in the absence of hydrogen bonds
Proton transfer is ubiquitous in chemistry and biology, occurring, for example, in proteins, enzyme reactions and across proton channels and pumps. However, it has always been described in the context ...
Uracil is one of the four bases of RNA (carbon atoms are brown, nitrogen purple, oxygen red, hydrogen white). Because methyl groups discourage hydrogen bonding, methylated uracil should be incapable ...
An international team led by Argonne has visualized the elusive, ultrafast proton transfer process following the ionization of water. Understanding how ionizing radiation interacts with water — like ...
