Abstract

The dynamical structure of the adenine···thymine nucleic acid base pair exposed to a small number of water molecules (from 1 to 216) was determined using molecular dynamics simulations with Cornell et al. force field (W. D. Cornell, P. Cieplak, C. I. Bayly, I. R.Gould, K. M. Merz, D. M. Ferguson, D. C. Spellmeyer, T. Fox, J. E. Caldwell and P. Kollman, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1995, 117, 5179). The gradual increase of hydration number results in a transition from planar base pair structures to nonplanar ones, and already for two water molecules the population of stacked structures is higher than that of planar structures.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
