    Abstract: Now it is still unclear how frameshift mutations arise at cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. The author develops polymerase – tautomeric model of ultraviolet mutagenesis. The model is described that is based on the formation of rare tautomeric bases in cis-syn cyclobutane thymine dimers. A mechanism was proposed for targeted deletions caused by cis-syn... Show More

    Abstract: In this paper, we give a short look at the concept of memristive nano-technology, its history, and actual state-of-the-art. It is expected that together with advanced light-driven data transfer technology, computer operation will change dramatically by memristors, a new kind of the computer memory, which is becoming a sustaining hotspot in fields o...

    Abstract: An implementation of plasmon resonances in nanocomposite thin films for biosensors is discussed. The effect is studied in the system of modified Au inclusions inside the Teflon matrix. The optical response of the nanocomposite thin film with inhomogeneous distribution of embedded coated Au spherical nanoparticles across the film thickness is analyz... Show More

    Abstract: We have considered the spin crossover (SC) complex compounds containing spin-active metal ions of iron group, which can induce the spin transitions (ST) of high spin (HS) – low spin (LS) type under influence of temperature (TIST), pressure (PIST) or light (LIESST) from non-conventional point of view. We have analyzed the physical peculiarities of t... Show More
