Abstract:

The hydration of biomolecules is vitally important in molecular biology, so in this paper thesolvation energy and radial distribution function of DNA bases have been calculated by theMonte Carlo simulation.The geometries of isolated Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thyminehave been optimized using 6-31+G(d,p) basis function sets. These geometries then will be used inthe Monte Carlo calculation of the DNA bases in water.We have used TIP3 model for water andOPLS for nucleic acid bases. The computed solvation energy have Good agreement with the othercomputational data Radial distribution function of O and N atoms of Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine,and Thymine which have been computed and the results have been compared with other availabledata observed for these molecules. The Monte Carlo simulation also has been performed by theCHARMM39, 40 program in the same conditions and the results of two procedures have beencompared.

An ab initio quantum chemical investigation of TOMS nmr SHIELDING TENSORS IN Adenine-thymine, Adenine-uracil, Guanine-Cytosine & uracil-quartet: comparison between theoretical and experimental results

We have evaluated the NMR shielding tensors for A:T,G:C,A:U in Watson-crick, and U-quartet. We have computed NMR shielding tensors at B31YP level by using 6-31G(d) basis set. We have compute anisotropy and asymmetry in A:T,G:C,A:U and U-quartet. The NMR shielding tensors were calculated using the GIAO method. The natural bonding orbital analysis (NBO) were performed. NBO calculation have been ...

Surface-Enhanced Hyper-Raman Spectra of Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil

Using picosecond excitation at 1064 nm, surface-enhanced hyper-Raman scattering (SEHRS) spectra of the nucleobases adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil with two different types of silver nanoparticles were obtained. Comparing the SEHRS spectra with SERS data from the identical samples excited at 532 nm and with known infrared spectra, the major bands in the spectra are assigned. Due ...

Infrared Signatures of Proton Transfer in Guanine⋅Cytosine and Adenine⋅Thymine Base Pairs: DFT Study

The structures of all stable tautomers of guanine⋅cytosine and adenine⋅thymine Watson–Crick base pairs produced by single and double proton transfers from the most stable structures are optimized using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level. The zwitterionic tautomer of guanine⋅cyosine is stable in a high-dielectric medium (water), but not in the gas phase. Normal mode ca...

Conformational properties of DNA strands containing guanine-adenine and thymine-adenine repeats.

CD spectroscopy and PAGE were used to cooperatively analyze melting conformers of DNA strands containing GA and TA dinucleotide repeats. The 20mer (GA)10 formed a homoduplex in neutral solutions containing physiological concentrations of salts and this homoduplex was not destabilized even in the terminal (GA)3 hexamers of (GA)3(TA)4(GA)3, although the central (TA)4 portion of this oligonucleoti...
