In this collaborative project, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division, and by the Office of International Science and Education, Prof. Mattanjah deVries of the University of California, Santa Barbara and his graduate research students will study the photophysics of DNA base-pairs in the gas phase. In this work, Prof. deVries and his students will be collaborating with the theoretical chemistry group of Prof. Wolfgang Domcke at the Technical University of Munich. Prof. Domcke's group has support from the DFG for this work. A broader scientific impact of this research will come from the answers that it provides about the photostability of these species under the conditions of the early earth and how this may have affected the eventual chemical makeup of living systems. Besides the broader scientific impacts of the research being supported, Prof. de Vries will be providing his students with training in sophisticated experimental techniques and state-of-the-art theoretical methods. In addition, his students will gain valuable international experience through their collaboration with Prof. Domcke and his group.

在这个合作项目中，由化学部实验物理化学计划和国际科学与教育办公室资助，加利福尼亚大学的Mattanjah Devries教授，圣塔芭芭拉（Santa Barbara）及其研究生研究专业的学生将研究天然气阶段DNA碱基的光体物理学。 在这项工作中，Devries教授和他的学生将与慕尼黑技术大学Wolfgang Domcke教授的理论化学小组合作。 Domcke教授的小组在DFG的支持下为这项工作提供了支持。 这项研究的更广泛的科学影响将来自于在早期地球条件下提供的有关这些物种的光稳定性的答案，以及这可能如何影响生命系统的最终化学化学构成。除了支持研究的更广泛的科学影响外，De Vries教授还将为他的学生提供精致的实验技术和最先进的理论方法的培训。 此外，他的学生将通过与Domcke教授及其小组的合作获得宝贵的国际经验。
