The change of photoelectron spectra for UMP in aqueous solutions at different proton concentrations (pH = 7.5 and 11.3) is ascribed to the chemical shift of the N3 nitrogen atom in uracil moiety of canonical and deprotonated forms. The lowest double ionization potentials for aqueous UMP at different pH obtained from the Auger electron spectra following the N 1s photoionization values show the electrostatic aqueous interaction of uracil moiety of canonical (neutral) and deprotonated (negatively charged) forms with hydrated water molecules.}, title = {Hydration of Nucleobase as Probed by Electron Emission of Uridine-5’-Mono-Phosphate (UMP) in Aqueous Solution Induced by Nitrogen K-Shell Ionization}, volume = {4}, year = {2020} }
