Contribution of One‐Electron Oxidation of Purine and Pyrimidine Bases to the Photo‐ and Radiation‐Induced Damage to Cellular DNA

One‐electron oxidants that include type I photosensitizers, biologically relevant carbonate anion radical generators, and high intensity UVC nanosecond lasers are able to ionize in aqueous solution purine and pyrimidine nucleobases. The survey is aimed at critically reviewing the...
