Tautomerism and Protonation of Guanine and Cytosine. Implications in the Formation of Hydrogen-Bonded Complexes
Abstract
Tautomerism and protonation of guanine and cytosine in the gas phase and in aqueous solution have been examined by theoretical methods. High level ab initio calculations with inclusion of correlation effects at the Møller−Plesset level have been used to study these processes in the gas phase. The influence of solvent has been examined using self-consistent reaction field and Monte Carlo free energy perturbation simulations. The results provide a complete and accurate picture of tautomerism and protonation of these nucleic acid bases. Comparison with the available experimental data gives confidence in the quality of the results derived from theoretical computations. Inspection of the most stable tautomeric forms for the neutral and protonated nucleic acid bases allows rationalization of the formation of unusual DNA structures like the triple helix.

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.
