Tautomerisation Mechanisms in the Adenine-Thymine Nucleobase Pair during DNA Strand Separation

[Image: see text] The adenine-thymine tautomer (A*-T*) has previously been discounted as a spontaneous mutagenesis mechanism due to the energetic instability of the tautomeric configuration. We study the stability of A*-T* while the nucleobases undergo DNA strand separation. Our calculations indicat...
