Low energy electron stimulated desorption from DNA films dosed with oxygen

Abstract: Desorption of anions stimulated by 1-18 eV electron impact on self-assembled monolayer (SAM) films of single DNA strands is measured as a function of film temperature (50-250 K). The SAMs, composed of 10 nucleotides, are dosed with O 2 . The OH − desorption yields increase markedly with exposure to O 2 at 50 K and are further enhanced upon heating. In contrast, the desorption yields of O − , attributable to dissociative electron attachment to trapped O 2 molecules decrease with heating. Irradiation of the DNA … Show more

“…5 Recently, we investigated interactions between O 2 , DNA, and LEEs in electron stimulated desorption (ESD) experiments. 6 By "pre-irradiating" DNA films with LEEs prior to dosing with 18 O 2 , we observed the new desorption signals of 18 O − and 18 OH − which were due to reactions of 18 O 2 with LEE-induced damage sites in the film; the new desorption signals were fragments formed by LEE-initiated dissociation of the 18 O 2 -DNA reaction products. It appears then that the binding of O 2 to damage sites in DNA is dependent on the interactions of LEEs with the sugar rings or bases, which contain hydrocarbons.…”
