Long-Range Charge Transfer in DNA I Series: Topics in Current Chemistry, Vol. 236

by Schuster, Gary B. (Ed.)

Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta. Presents current research on the ability of DNA to transport electrical charge and that a charge introduced at one location in DNA can migrate and cause a reaction at a remove location. Discusses various implications of this phenomenon for future research. For researchers.

Thanks, ggacae. Nice pair of books, judging by the review...

Long-Range Charge Transfer in DNA I is an excellent contribution to the Topics ... Overall, the chapters are well-written, and the figures and schemes are of sufficient quality and clarity to reinforce the points being made in the text. One drawback of this book is the lack of color figures,...

This volume covers mostly hole migration as an electron-transfer process in DNA and is up-to-date with the current understanding in the field. The first review by Cadet et al. covers one-electron oxidation of pyrimidine and purine DNA bases, including high-intensity UV photochemistry of isolated DNA lesions. The next review by Giese covers hole transfer through DNA by G- and A-hopping mechanisms and how mismatches and proton transfer affect hole migration in DNA. Lewis et al. provide an excellent review covering hole injection and the effects of cross-linked DNA hairpins. Consideration is given to the dynamics of DNA in the models employed, and the review is concluded by a comparison of other experiments in hole transport to theory. The next review by Barton et al. is a lucid, tour de force description of experimentation on charge transport in DNA. A wide variety of physical and biological topics are covered, including metallointercalators, organic intercalators, and modified bases as probes for electron transfer. Significant discussion of perturbations to π-stacking and the effects on charge transfer is provided, and there is even a small section on in vivo DNA charge transfer. Majima et al. follow with a short review that covers the kinetics of hole migration by pulse radiolysis ... In the final chapter, Carell et al. focus not on hole migration, ... but rather on excess electron transfer in synthetic chemically modified DNA systems ..... Overall, these authors give an excellent account of the diverse and sometimes conflicting field of charge transfer in DNA.

Long-Range Charge Transfer in DNA II is wonderfully complementary to Volume I. It contains seven reviews that are more heavily weighted toward theoretical research than the previous volume. As with its predecessor, all of the chapters in this book are written by well-known, leading researchers in the field and include a number of references to the authors' own work. The chapters are well-written and well-illustrated.
