Christophorou (Academic, New York, 1984), Chap. 7; H. S. W. Massey, Negative Ions, 3rd ed. (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1976). To the best of our knowledge,there exists no data on reactions of low-energy anions with DNA, or its constituents. However, on the basis of general ion-molecule collision data, we suggest that post dissociation interactions of DEA fragments with adjacent components of cellular DNA are likely to occur.
