Abstract: |
Changes of molecular structure and associated charge distributions, and changes of anhar-monic vibrational parameters from DNA base monomers to the Watson-Crick base pairs, have been investigated at the density functional theory level. Through examination of the NH2, N-H, and C=O stretching vibrational modes that are involved in the multiple H-bonds in the base pairs, sensitivity of their diagonal and off-diagonal anharmonicities, as well as anharmonic vibrational couplings, to the structure change are predicted. Our results re-veal the intrinsic connection between the anharmonic vibrational potentials, H-bonding, and electrostatic interactions in DNA bases. |

摘要: |
在密度泛函理论水平上研究了从DNA碱基单体到Watson-Crick碱基对的结构、电荷分布、以及非谐性振动参数的变化. 通过研究参与碱基对中多重氢键的NH2、N-H和C=O的伸缩振动模式,预测了这些模式的对角非谐性常数、非对角非谐性常数、以及非谐性振动耦合对碱基结构变化的敏感性. 研究结果揭示了DNA碱基中非谐性振动势、分子间氢键和静电相互作用之间的内在联系. |
