“…Static hydration of DNA has been studied by molecular orbital calculations and empirical potential energy functions (21)(22)(23). Monte Carlo methods have been used to further the understanding of the statistical distribution of water around DNA (24)(25)(26)(27). Preferred solvation sites have been calculated to characterize the accessible atoms in DNA and their capacity for solvation (28).…”

“…Известно, что гидратация биополимеров играет существенную роль в балансе сил, определяющих их функциональные конформации [14]. Достаточно отметить, что изменение содержания воды в полинуклеотидных нитях является причиной конформационного перехода в двойной спирали [27]. Однако до недавнего времени наши знания о гидратационных свойствах структурных составляющих биополимеров, в частности азотистых оснований, ограничивались квантовохимическими и атоматомными расчетами.…”

“…Вопрос о количестве центров сильного связывания гуанина экспериментально до конца не выяснен. Тем не менее, уже из имеющихся данных следует вывод о том, что взаимодействие молекул воды с гидрофильными атомами оснований GhC заметно выше по сравнению с анало-Таблица З гичными взаимодействиями в случае А и T(U), что согласуется с теорией [20][21][22]27].…”

“…Although it is well established now that the DNA polymorphism can be induced by changes in the solvating conditions, the mechanism of these transitions on the molecular level is not fully clarified. The concept of"hydration economy'' proposed by Saenger( 5) to explain B to A DNA transition has been recently supported by Monte Carlo Metropolis simulations (6,7). In contrast, the RNA structure seems to be quite insensitive to variations in the degree of hydration (8).…”
