Abstract

Two different mechanisms to obtain the imino–enol tautomer of the adenine–thymine base pair, a concerted hydrogen atom transfer and a stepwise process, have been studied and compared. The first mechanism includes both the concerted movement of two hydrogen atoms, in the bridges that bond the two bases, and an electronic reorganisation of the bonds. The stepwise mechanism is the simplest one where there is a correlation between the movement of the hydrogen atoms, but two or more steps can be identified. In this study, a different behaviour has been found when the first atom to move is the hydrogen in the N–N bridge or that in the N–O one.

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.
