Extended Weak Bonding Interactions in DNA:  π-Stacking (Base−Base), Base−Backbone, and Backbone−Backbone Interactions

We report on several weak interactions in nucleic acids, which, collectively, can make a nonnegligible contribution to the structure and stability of these molecules. Fragments of DNA were obtained from previously determined accurate experimental geometries and their electron density distributions c...
