✦ Synopsis

High angle diffraction data from ordered fibres of DNA in the A form have been collected on diffractometer D19 at the Institute Laue-Langevin.

By exploiting the ability to isotopically replace H,O surrounding the DNA by D,O we have been able to locate water around the double helix.

The instrument D19 at the Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, has been used to undertake neutron fibre diffraction studies of the location of water around the D form of the DNA double helix. These studies clearly show the distribution of water in the small and large grooves of the molecule and, togeth

## Abstract The interaction energy between water and the DNA single helix in the A conformation is computed at a number of planar cross sections perpendicular to the long axis of the helix and for cylindrical surfaces enclosing the helix. In addition, Monte Carlo simulations are presented for a sma
