Why are Hoogsteen base pairs energetically disfavored in A-RNA compared to B-DNA?

A(syn)-U/T and G(syn)-C(+) Hoogsteen (HG) base pairs (bps) are energetically more disfavored relative to Watson–Crick (WC) bps in A-RNA as compared to B-DNA by >1 kcal/mol for reasons that are not fully understood. Here, we used NMR spectroscopy, optical melting experiments, molecular dynamics si...
