Base stacking and hydrogen bonding in protonated cytosine dimer: the role of molecular ion-dipole and induction interactions.

abstract：:For almost 50 years the conclusive explanation of Chargaff's second parity rule (CSPR), the equality of frequencies of nucleotides A=T and C=G or the equality of direct and reverse complement trinucleotides in the same DNA strand, has not been determined yet. Here, we relate CSPR to the interstrand mirror symmetry in ...
