The energy levels and wavefunctions of the protons of the hydrogen bonds in DNA base pairs are numerically wlculated for a s&es of adiabatic potential awes. The phenomenon of the swxlled proton tunnelling is discussed.
## Abstract Aromatic stacking and hydrogen bonding between nucleobases are two of the key interactions responsible for stabilization of DNA double‐helical structures. The present work aims at defining the specific contributions of these interactions to the stability of individual base pairs in DNA.
