As part of a study on the conformation of polynucleotides and nucleic acids the preferred conformations of the model conpound dimethyl phosphate are worked out using potential energy functions. In calculating the total potential energy associated with the conformation, nonbonded, torsional, and elec

In this paper, the preferred conformations of the bases with respect to the sugar in various base-sugar units are worked out using criteria of potential energy. The van der Waals type of intercations between nonbonded atoms is represented by a 6-12 function and the electrostatic interactions have be
The potential energy calculations on the sugar-phosphate unit for different puckerings of the sugar are reported in this paper. The results obtained here essentially confirm our earlier predictions made by using criteria of contact distances (hard-sphere potential) and are also supported by observed
The localized molecular orbitals for the hydration complexes of Hf and Li+ cations, F-anion, and linear dimer of water molecules are obtained from their CND0/2 wavefunctions. The bonding of these systems is qualitatively discussed in the light of the localized orbitals.
