Influence of the π–π interaction on the hydrogen bonding capacity of stacked DNA/RNA bases

The interplay between aromatic stacking and hydrogen bonding in nucleobases has been investigated via high-level quantum chemical calculations. The experimentally observed stacking arrangement between consecutive bases in DNA and RNA/DNA double helices is shown to enhance their hydrogen bonding abil...
