Abstract
In the present communication we discuss different collision processes leading to the damage of biomolecular species. During the collision either an electron is attached or removed from the biomolecule or only energy is transferred without changing their charge state. In particular, we discuss the influence of the environment, i.e. the fact whether fragmentation processes are studied with isolated molecules in the gas phase, or whether they are embedded in a more realistic environment, i.e. surrounded by similar molecules in a cluster system or solvated in a given number of water molecules.
