  abstract = 	{In the present Thesis, the dynamics of key building blocks of the DNA, namely (i) free nucleobases, (ii) selected, well-defined hydrogen-bonded base pairs as well as larger H-bridged aggregates, and (iii) short single- or double-stranded DNA oligonucleotides and self-complementary DNA oligonucleotide loops have been studied in a systematic bottom-up strategy to assess their roles for the photostability of DNA. Experimental measurements were carried out by the UV femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion technique. Tunable UV pump pulses were used to monitor the excited-state decays after excitation close to the electronic origin and to significantly higher energies above.},
