Surprising Conformers of the Biologically Important A·T DNA Base Pairs: QM/QTAIM Proofs

For the first time novel high-energy conformers–A·T(wWC) (5.36), A·T(wrWC) (5.97), A·T(wH) (5.78), and A·T(wrH) (ΔG = 5.82 kcal·mol−1) (See Graphical Abstract) were revealed for each of the four biologically important A·T DNA base pairs – Watson-Crick A·T(WC), reverse Watson-Crick A·T(rWC), Hoogstee...
