New Study Sheds Light On 'Dark States' In DNA
Science Daily ? Chemists at Ohio State University have probed an unusual
high-energy state produced in single nucleotides -- the building blocks of DNA
and RNA -- when they absorb ultraviolet (UV) light.
This is the first time scientists have been able to probe the "dark" energy
state -- so called because it cannot be detected by fluorescence techniques used
to study other high-energy states created in DNA by UV light.
The study suggests that DNA employs a variety of means to dissipate the energy
it absorbs when bombarded by UV light.
