✦ Synopsis

The procedure developed in Part I of this series is applied to the homopolymeric sequences poly (dA) . poly(dT1 and poly (dG) . poly(dC) on the double helical structure of B-DNA. Some aspects of the base sequence influence on the polymer's attraction for water molecule are described. The results are used to discuss the general hydration features of those systems in relation to recent experimental studies of DNA single crystals.

An approximate procedure for the rapid detection of favored sites for the location of bound water on macromolecules has been developed with the aid of accurate electrostatic energy calculations. The method also enables us to picture the lability of the bound water molecules around the substrate. As
