description

The front cover artwork is provided by Dr. Javier Segarra-Martí (University of Valencia, Spain) and Prof. Michael J. Bearpark (Imperial College London, UK). The image shows the ultrafast photoionisation of DNA canonical nucleobase cytosine and the slower ionization process in non-canonical base isocytosine embedded within a DNA backbone.
