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.

Key words: DNA base pair, water, hydrogen bond, density-functional theory, Hartree-Fock
