Abstract

The intramolecular interaction energy of the regular double‐helical polynucleotide as a function of variables that determine the mutual position of base pairs and sugar pucker was calculated using atom–atom potentials. The calculations showed the existence of two valley‐like regions with minimal values on the energetic surface. One of them corresponds to the A family of nucleic acids, the other to the B family. The points that correspond to the models constructed by means of x‐ray data are placed in a conformational space near the lines that describe the position of the bottom of the valleys.
