| Description | Trans Hoogsteen/sugar edge (H/SE) RNA base pairs form one of the six families of RNA base pairs that utilize the 2hydroxyl group of ribose for base pairing and play key roles in stabilizing folded RNA molecules Here, we provide a detailed quantum chemical characterization of intrinsic structures and interaction energies of this base pair family, along with the evaluation of solvent screening effects by a continuum solvent approach. |
