Abstract excerpt
The effect of amino groups attached at positions 2 and 8 of the hypoxanthine moiety in the structure, reactivity and stability of DNA duplexes and triplexes is studied by means of quantum mechanical calculations, as well as extended molecular dynamics (MD) and thermodynamic integration (MD/TI) simulations. Theoretical estimates of the change in stability related to 2'-deoxyguanosine (G) --> 2'-deoxyinosine (I)...
