Novel Tautomerisation Mechanisms of the Biologically Important Conformers of the Reverse Löwdin, Hoogsteen, and Reverse Hoogsteen G*·C* DNA Base Pairs via Proton Transfer: A Quantum-Mechanical Survey

For the first time, in this study with the use of QM/QTAIM methods we have exhaustively investigated the tautomerization of the biologically-important conformers of the G*·C* DNA base pair—reverse Löwdin G*·C*(rWC), Hoogsteen G*′·C*(H), and reverse Hoogsteen G*′·C*(rH) DNA base pairs—via the single...
