Nowadays, decades after the discovery of the right‐handed B form of DNA, it is well known
that nucleic acids have great conformational flexibility, exhibiting a large degree of variation …

DNA adopts different conformations not only based on novel base pairs, but also with
different chain polarities. Besides several duplex structures (A, B, Z, parallel stranded (ps) …

This study aims to cast light on the physico-chemical nature and energetic of the non-
conventional CH··· O/N H-bonds in the biologically important natural nucleobase pairs using …

A molecular rotor thioflavin T (ThT) is usually used as a fluorescent ligand specific for G-
quadruplexes. Here, we demonstrate that ThT can tightly bind non-G-quadruplex DNAs with …

DNA dodecamers have been designed with two cytosines on each end and intervening A
and T stretches, such that the oligomers have fully complementary A: T base pairs when …

In this study it was theoretically shown that discovered by us recently (Brovarets' et al.,
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018, 6: 8; doi: 10.3389/fchem. 2018.00008) high-energetical …

The infrared spectra of three different 25-mer parallelstranded DNAs (ps-DNA) have been
studied. We have used ps-DNAs containing either exclusively dA-dT base pairs or …

The DNA double helix exhibits local sequence-dependent polymorphism at the level of the
single base pair and dinucleotide step. Curvature of the DNA molecule occurs in DNA …

In this study, using QM/QTAIM calculations in the continuum with ε= 1 under normal
conditions, we have revealed for the first time the nondissociative A· T (WC)↔ A· T (rWC)/A …

For the first time novel high-energy conformers–A· T (wWC)(5.36), A· T (wrWC)(5.97), A· T
(wH)(5.78), and A· T (wrH)(ΔG= 5.82 kcal· mol− 1)(See Graphical Abstract) were revealed for …
