Initial excited-state structural dynamics of 2′-deoxyadenosine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purine nucleobases (adenosine and guanosine) are prone to spontaneous breaking of the nucleosidic bond to form abasic sites in both DNA and RNA. However, the purines also undergo photochemical reactions, including oxidation and cycloaddition, to form damage sites, albeit at lower photochemical quantum yields than the pyrimidines. In this study, we use ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy to measure the initial excited-state structural dynamics in the nucleoside, 2′-deoxyadenosine. The resonance Raman-derived initial excited-state structural dynamics throughout the 260 nm La excited electronic state of adenine are found to be smaller in the nucleoside than in the previously reported 9-methyladenine nucleobase derivative, consistent with what is found for the pyrimidines thymine and uracil. Interestingly, resonance-enhanced vibrational modes in this electronic state also contain internal coordinates localized on the sugar, which may represent a different energy dissipation mechanism than in the pyrimidine nucleosides. The results will be discussed in terms of the initial excited-state photophysics and photochemistry of DNA and RNA.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
