Abstract

Dispersion of the dielectric properties of nucleic acid bases: impedance, complex dielectric constants, dielectric losses, capacity are studied. Cole-Cole diagrams are obtained in the frequency range 10 –10 Hz. The variation of the relaxation structures of pyrimidine bases are shown under the ultraviolet radiation influence.
