Molecular electrostatic potential of the nucleic acids

Pullman, Alberte, Pullman, Bernard·1981·Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics

Abstract

It is generally acknowledged that geometrical and conformational properties of biopolymers have an important effect on their biochemical behaviour. It is less easily recognized that these properties depend also on their macromolecular electronic characteristics. The aim of this review is to demonstrate the significance of such macromolecular electronic effects. Particularly useful for this sake is the recently much developed concept of ‘molecular electrostatic potential’ (MEP) (Scrocco & Tomasi, 1973, 1978) by which is defined the electrostatic (Coulomb) potential created in the neighbouring space by the nuclear charges and the eletronic distribution of a molecule.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
