Understanding the rules of life is one of the most important scientific endeavours and has
revolutionised both biology and biotechnology. Remarkable advances in observation …

Proton transfer along the hydrogen bonds of DNA can lead to the creation of short-lived, but
biologically relevant point mutations that can further lead to gene mutation and, potentially …

The energies of the canonical (standard, amino-keto) and tautomeric (non-standard, imino-
enol) charge-neutral forms of the adenine–thymine base pair (A–T and A*–T*, respectively) …

The Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 virus harbors a sequence of Arg-Gly-
Asp tripeptide named RGD motif, which has also been identified in extracellular matrix …

It has been hypothesised that proton tunnelling between paired nucleobases significantly
enhances the formation of rare tautomeric forms and hence leads to errors in DNA …

Incremental, single-atom substitutions of Se-based chalcogen bond (Ch-bond) donors with
stronger donating Te centers were implemented in two new triptycene tris (1, 2, 5 …

This study presents the development of co-assembled copolymer architectures at
physiological pH (pH 7.4) formed via H-bonds between complementary nucleobase …

We investigate possible mutations in the genetic code induced by cisplatin with an approach
combining molecular dynamics (MD) and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics …

Free energy of the tautomeric equilibrium A‐T⇆ A*‐T* between the canonical and
noncanonical DNA base equilibrium in aqueous solution was theoretically determined by …

The IPPP–CLOPPA method is applied to investigate the feasibility of the C–H··· O moiety as
a third hydrogen bond in the adenine–thymine base pair, and the role of this intermolecular …
