Novel pathway for mutagenic tautomerization of classical А∙Т DNA base pairs via sequential proton transfer through quasi-orthogonal transition states: A QM/QTAIM investigation.

In this paper we have theoretically predicted a novel pathway for the mutagenic tautomerization of the classical A∙T DNA base pairs in the free state, the Watson-Crick A·Т(WC), reverse Watson-Crick A·Т(rWC), Hoogsteen A·Т(H) and reverse Hoogsteen A·Т(rH) pairs, via sequential proton transfer accompa...
