The intrinsic ionization energy of a base in DNA plays a critical role in determining the energies at which damage mechanisms may emerge. Here, a two-photon resonance-enhanced ionization scheme is presented that utilizes the (1)pi pi* transition, localized on the DNA base, to elucidate the base-specific ionization in a deprotonated nucleotide. In contrast to previous reports, the scheme is insensitive to competing ionization channels arising from the sugar-phosphate backbone. Using this approach, we demonstrate that for all bases except guanine, the lowest electron detachment energy corresponds to detachment from the sugar-phosphate backbone and allows us to determine the lowest adiabatic ionization energy for the other three bases for the first time in an isolated nucleotide.
