Hydrogen bonding and stacking interactions of nucleic acid base pairs: A density-functional-theory based treatment

Elstner, Marcus, Hobza, Pavel, Frauenheim, Thomas, Suhai, Sándor, Kaxiras, Efthimios·2001·The Journal of Chemical Physics

Abstract

We extend an approximate density functional theory (DFT) method for the description of long-range dispersive interactions which are normally neglected by construction, irrespective of the correlation function applied. An empirical formula, consisting of an R−6 term is introduced, which is appropriately damped for short distances; the corresponding C6 coefficient, which is calculated from experimental atomic polarizabilities, can be consistently added to the total energy expression of the method. We apply this approximate DFT plus dispersion energy method to describe the hydrogen bonding and stacking interactions of nucleic acid base pairs. Comparison to MP2/6-31G*(0.25) results shows that the method is capable of reproducing hydrogen bonding as well as the vertical and twist dependence of the interaction energy very accurately.

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.
