Abstract

In this research we studied the mechanisms of photoinduced conformational transformation of hydroxy forms of (deoxy)uridine, which have been found to be accessible in aqueous solution. The mechanisms were compared with those for the oxo forms of (deoxy)uridine studied recently. The mechanisms of photoinduced proton detachment in oxo and hydroxy forms of (deoxy)uridine were also studied. These mechanisms are driven by the repulsive 1πσ* state.
