## Abstract __To elucidate the role of guanosine in DNA strand breaks caused by low‐energy electrons (LEEs), theoretical investigations of the LEE attachment‐induced CO σ‐bonds and N‐glycosidic bond breaking of 2′‐deoxyguanosine‐3′,5′‐diphosphate (3′,5′‐dGMP) were performed using the B3LYP/DZP++ a
Most of the energy deposited in cells by ionizing radiation is channeled into the production of abundant free secondary electrons with ballistic energies between 1 and 20 electron volts. Here it is shown that reactions of such electrons, even at energies well below ionization thresholds, induce subs
