Xu, J.; Tsanakopoulou, M.; Magnani, C. J.; Szabla, R.; Šponer, J. E.; Šponer, J.; Góra, R. W.; Sutherland, J. D. Nat. Chem. 2016, advance online publication DOI: 10.1038/nchem.2664 We describe a long-sought route through ribose aminooxazoline to the pyrimidine β-ribonucleosides

Distributed Multipolar Expansion Approach to Calculation of Excitation Energy Transfer Couplings

Błasiak, B.; Maj, M.; Cho, M.; Góra, R. W. J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2015, 11 (7), 3259–3266 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jctc.5b00216 We propose a new approach for estimating the electrostatic part of the excitation energy transfer (EET) coupling between electronically excited chromophores

Prof. Marek Samoć has received FNP Prize 2016

The Foundation for Polish Science has for the 25th time granted its FNP Prizes, considered to be Poland’s most important scientific awards. The winners are three leading Polish researchers: Prof. Jan Kozłowski, Prof. Marek Samoć, Prof. Józef Spałek and prof.

Hydrogen bonding inside and outside carbon nanotubes: HF dimer as a case study

Roztoczyńska, A.; Kozłowska, J.; Lipkowski, P.; Bartkowiak, W. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2016, 18 (4), 2417–2427 DOI: 10.1039/C5CP04153H We analyze the noncovalent interactions of molecular complexes formed between the hydrogen bonded HF dimer and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) of different

Zaleśny, R.; Garcia-Borràs, M.; Góra, R. W.; Medved’, M.; Luis, J. M. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2016, 18 (32), 22467–22477 DOI: 10.1039/C6CP02500E This paper presents the results of a pioneering exploration of the physical origins of vibrational contributions to the

Photorelaxation of imidazole and adenine via electron-driven proton transfer along H2O wires

Szabla, R.; Góra, R. W.; Janicki, M.; Sponer, J. Faraday Discuss. 2016 DOI: 10.1039/C6FD00131A Non-adiabatic molecular dynamics simulations and potential energy surface calculations of the photoexcited imidazole–(H2O)5 cluster using the ADC(2) Hamiltonian indicate that electron driven proton transfer (EDPT) along

Solvent effects on the photochemistry of 4-aminoimidazole-5-carbonitrile, a prebiotically plausible precursor of purines

Szabla, R.; Šponer, J. E.; Šponer, J.; Sobolewski, A. L.; Góra, R. W. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2014, 16 (33), 17617–17626 DOI: 10.1039/C4CP02074J Ab initio studies elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying photostability of a prebiotically plausible precursor of purine nucleotides,
