Carbon-14 decay as a source of non-canonical bases in DNA

Carbon-14 decay as a source of non-canonical bases in DNA

Background: Significant experimental effort has been applied to study radioactive beta-decay in biological systems. Atomic-scale knowledge of this transmutation process is lacking due to the absence of computer simulations. Carbon-14 is an important beta-emitter, being ubiquitous in the environment...
