The absorption and luminescence spectra of nucleotides
(5'-monophosphates of deoxyguanosine (pdG), deoxycytidine (pdC),
deoxyadenosine (pdA) and thymidine (pdT)) that are elementary DNA
units, and their co-systems, dinucleotide deoxyadenylyl-deoxyguanosine
(dApdG) and trinucleotide deoxyadenylyl-thymidylyl-deoxycytidine
(dApdTpdC) (these multicomponent systems are DNA fragments), have been
measured at low temperatures (4,2 K-77 K). Based on this data the
energy positions of the first excited singlet (S[1]) and triplet
(T[1]) levels of nucleotides were determined (see the table). Obtained
data manifest that the triplet energy transfer in investigated DNA
fragments appears to be resolved at Tł35 K.
