利用Hartree-Fock方法, 选取6-31G*基组对Adenine-Thymine-Water氢键复合物可能存在的构型进行了优化, 然后用DFT PBE方法, 选取6-311++G(3d, 3p)基组对复合物的结合能进行计算, 结果表明水与DNA中配对碱基的相互作用, 不会显著影响碱基对的稳定性, 水的存在使得碱基对的扭转构型更接近真实DNA中碱基对的螺旋状结构.

Various possible structures of Adenine-Thymine-Water hydrogen-bond complexes were optimized at Hartree-Fock/6-31G* level, and the binding energies of these complexes were also calculated at DFT PBE/6-311++G(3d, 3p) level. The results show that the interactions between water and Adenine-Thymine (A-T) base pair do not affect the stabilities of the base pairs, and water is useful for forming the helix structures of base pairs in DNA.
