We report calculation s on single differential and total cross sections for single ionization andsingle electron capture from biological targets, namely, vapor water and DNA nucleobasese molecules, bybare projectile impact: H+, He2+, and C6+. They are performed with in the Continuum Distorted Wave? Eikonal Initial State approximation and compared to several existing experimental data. This study isoriented to the obtention of a reliable set of theoretical data to be used as input in a Monte Carlo codedestined to micro- and nano- dosimetry.
