Abstract
- The structure, tautomeric preferences, base-pairing ability, stacking interactions and HOMO-LUMO gaps of the naphtho-homologated DNA bases are studied using theoretical techniques. The bases have structures similar to the benzo-fused predecessors and show a tautomeric preference to naphtho-thymine and naphtho-adenine resulting in formation of hydrogen-bonded dimers.
