- Abstract:
- The electron-hole injection from a family of spiropyran photoswitches into A/T-duplex DNA has been investigated at the molecular level for the first time. Multiscale computations coupled with automatized quantitative wavefunction analysis reveal a pronounced directionality and regioselectivity towards the template strand of the duplex DNA. Our findings suggest that this directional and regioselective photoinduced electron-hole transfer could thus be exploited to tailor the charge transport processes in DNA in specific applications.
