Abstract excerpt
A physical interpretation of the Topal-Fresco [Nature 263, 285 (1976)] model for spontaneous base substitutions suggests that hydrogen-bonded DNA protons satisfy the criteria for a classical noninteracting isolated system. Accessible states for duplex G-C protons include the keto-amino state and the six complementary enol-imine isomers. Hydrogen-bonded enol and imine protons occupy symmetric double-minima created...
