DPT tautomerisation of the G·Asyn and A*·G*syn DNA mismatches: a QM/QTAIM combined atomistic investigation
Literature Information
By applying a combined QM and QTAIM atomistic computational approach we have established for the first time that the G·Asyn and A*·G*syn DNA mismatches (rare tautomers are marked with an asterisk), causing spontaneous transversions with substantially various probabilities, radically differ from each other in their ability to tautomerise through the double proton transfer (DPT). The A*·G*syn mismatch tautomerises quite easily (ΔΔGTS ≈ 4·kT at room temperature) into the A·G*syn mismatch through the asynchronous concerted mechanism, whereas the G·Asyn base mispair does not tautomerise via the DPT at all, since there is no local minimum corresponding to the tautomerised G*·A*syn mismatch on the potential energy surface. It was established that the A·G*syn base mispair is a dynamically unstable H-bonded complex with an extremely short lifetime of 2.17 × 10−13 s. Consequently, the obtained results allow us to believe that spontaneous or forced dissociation of both the G·Asyn and A*·G*syn DNA mismatches by the DNA-polymerase occurs with the preservation of the tautomeric status of the bases.

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.
