Abstract
⺠Metastable decay of thymine nucleotides are characterized by N-glycosidic, phosphoester and nucleobase ring cleavage. ⺠The initial deprotonation position determines the specific reaction pathway. ⺠Sugar cross-ring cleavage is only relevant for small DNA subunits. ⺠Formation of NCOâ from thymine is due to deprotonation of N3. ⺠Presence of the phosphate group dominates fragmentation since it carries the negative charge.
