Mutagenicity Cancer Therapy
How does it work?
- Mutagenicity: one DNA base (thymine) is replaced by a nonstandard base (BrU)
- Cancer Therapy: substitution of one base by BrU at DNA leads to a greater sensitivity to ionising radiation

Is it possible• to obtain interaction of standard /nonstandard base pairs?• to distinguish between the different interactions?
IdeaIdea-Complementary base pair: Adenine / Thymine
-Noncomplementary base pairs:Adenine / Bromouracil Guanine / Bromouracil
InvestigationInvestigation
ThymineThymine - undergoes a phase transition at Au(111) - orientation of molecules depends on the potential

- We found attractive interactions between A-T complementary base pair1, whereby adenine was chemisorbed at the thymine physisorbed phase
- For the noncomplementary base pairs BrU-A and BrU-G we did not find any indication for attractive interactions
- The phase transition in a physisorbed condensed film for noncomplementary pairs vanishes if coadsorption takes place, it means that the interaction between them is weaker than between the bases alone (according to A-T on Hg electrodes2)
