Stacking of aromatic amino acids tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr), phenylalanine (Phe), and histidine (His) with bases and base pairs of nucleic acids has been studied. Stacking energies of the amino acid-base (or base pair) complexes have been calculated by second-order perturbation theory. Our res
With a view to understanding the role of hydrogen bonds in the recognition of nucleic acids by proteins, hydrogen bonding between the bases and base pairs of nucleic acids and the amino acids (Am, Gln, Asp and Glu, and charged residues Arg+, Glu-, and Asp-) has been studied by a second-order perturb
UV absorption studies on weak interactions of adenine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil with cathechol in aqueous solutions containing 0.1 N HCl gave evidence for the formation of charge transfer complexes. The absorptions of these complexes were found in the UV region at longer wavelengths than those
## Abstract The nature of interaction of Au(III) with nucleic acids was studied by using methods such as uv and ir spectrophotometry, viscometry, pH titrations, and melting‐temperature measurements. Au(III) is found to interact slowly with nucleic acids over a period of several hours. The uv spectr
## Abstract The relative orientation of caffeine in stacks formed by self‐association in aqueous solution has been evaluated by both ^1^H‐ and ^13^C‐nmr spectroscopy. The data, which were interpreted through the calculation of ring‐current and atomic diamagnetic anisotropic effects of the caffeine
