Abstract | 5-Fluorouracil is now routinely used in chemo- and radiotherapy. Incorporated within DNA, the molecule is bound to the sugar backbone, forming the 5-fluorouridine sub-unit investigated in the present work. For the clinical usage of the latter, no information exists on the mechanisms that control the radiosensitizing effect at the molecular level. As low energy (< 12 eV) electrons are abundantly produced along the radiation tracks during cancer treatment using beams of high energy particles, we study how these ballistic secondary electrons damage the sensitizing molecule. The salient result from our study shows that the |
