Nucleic acids have been among the first targets for antitumor drugs and antibiotics. With the
unveiling of new biological roles in regulation of gene expression, specific DNA and RNA …

The present work investigates the calcium-induced gelation behavior and gel properties of
alginate samples of lithium-, sodium-, and potassium-forms. It was found that the effect of the …

Metal-based drugs hold promise as potent anticancer agents owing to their unique
interactions with cellular targets. This review discusses recent advances in our …

In this work hydrogen bonding in a diverse set of 36 unnatural and the three natural Watson
Crick base pairs adenine (A)–thymine (T), adenine (A)–uracil (U) and guanine (G)–cytosine …

Energy decomposition analysis (EDA) based on absolutely localized molecular orbitals
(ALMOs) decomposes the interaction energy between molecules into physically …

This study delves into the nature of individual hydrogen bonds and the relationship between
metal cations and hydrogen bonding in the Watson–Crick guanine–cytosine (GC) base pair …

Abstract 3D shape and the resulting physicochemical properties of double‐helical DNA/RNA
structures are determined not only by individual nucleobases, but also by their additive …

Accurate information about interactions between group I metals and nucleic acids is
required to understand the roles these metals play in basic cellular functions, disease …

Understanding how lithium interacts with complex biosystems is crucial for uncovering the
roles of this alkali metal in biology and designing extraction techniques for battery …

In this study, the effect of different numbers of Li+ interacting with various sites of DNA base
pairs (adenine–thymine (AT) and cytosine-guanine (GC)) on the base pair structures, the …
