Abstract excerpt
The present work uses DFT calculations to characterize the conformational and hydrogen-bonding properties of O6-[4-oxo-4-(3-pyridyl)butyl]guanine (POB-G), a DNA adduct caused by tobacco. POB-G is found to adopt many isoenergetic conformations that allow for discrete interactions between the bulky moiety and the adducted G and/or pairing base. The calculated structure and stability of the hydrogen-bonded pairs...
