✦ Synopsis


Temperature-dependent components of the enthalpy and entropy contributions to the AG Gibbs free tautomerixation energies of DNA bases and their derivatives are computed within the rigid rotor-harmonic oscillator-ideal gas approximation using the data (rotational constants, harmonic frequencies) from the SCF/3-2 1G calculations. For the tautomers existing in comparable concentrations, these contributions were found to be important parts of the AG energies, and they should be calculated for the proper comparison of the calculated and experimental tautomeric stabilities of the bases.

## Abstract In order to examine the thermodynamic effects of exposing nucleic acid bases to water, we have measured the solubility of adenine, cytosine, and uracil in water and in organic solvents as a function of temperature. Transfer of a nucleic acid base from an organic environment into water i
