## Abstract Adiabatic electron affinities (__AEA__) and structural perturbations due to addition of an excess electron to each of the neutral guanine‐cytosine (G‐C), adenine‐thymine (A‐T), and hypoxanthine‐cytosine (HX‐C) base pairs were studied using the self‐consistent charge, density functional
Modified self-consistent phonon theory when applied to the DNA double helix indicates the existence of fairly long-lived states in which single interbase H bonds are disrupted. One can then postulate a number of situations in which particular disrupted H bonds can enhance particular proton exchange.
