      Competition between stacked and hydrogen bonded structures of cytosine aggregates 

      González Rodríguez, Jorge; Usabiaga Gutiérrez, Imanol; Arnaiz, Pedro; León Ona, Iker; Martínez, Rodrigo; Millán Moneo, Judith; Fernández González, José Andrés ORCID (RSC, 2017)
      The four bases of DNA constitute what is known as the “alphabet of life”. Their combination of proton-donor and acceptor groups and aromatic rings allows them to form stacking structures and at the same time establish ...

      Electronic spectroscopy of propofol, propofol homomers ad their hydratated clusters 

      León Ona, Iker (Servicio Editorial de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatearen Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2011-10-07)
      As several works suggest, the action of anaesthetics takes place through direct interaction with membrane receptors. They can interrupt the transmission of the electrical signal along the neuron´s axon by blocking the ...

      The Six Isomers of the Cyclohexanol Dimer: A Delicate Test for Dispersion Models 

      Juanes, Marcos; Usabiaga Gutiérrez, Imanol; León Ona, Iker; Evangelisti, Luca; Fernández González, José Andrés ORCID; Lesarri, Alberto (Wiley, 2020)
      The cyclohexanol homodimer acts as a delicate test model of the role of dispersion forces in intermolecular association. Whereas phenol produces a single dimer, the suppression of π interactions and the larger conformational ...
