Many natural shapes are chiral (or handed). Our hands, for example, have a right-hand version and a left-hand version, the two types being mirror images of each other. Molecules are also classified according to their chirality, which determines their chemical characteristics. Glucose, for example, i
Molecular mechanical simulations on base-paired deoxyhexanucleoside phosphates, (dAdT), . (dAdT),, (dTdA), . (dTdA),, (dGdC), . (dGdC),, and (dCdG), . (dCdG),, have been carried out to assess their energetic stabilities in left-and right-handed forms. These hexamers have also been simulated with al
