| Abstract | To elucidate the influence of solvating water molecules on the attacking mechanism of OH-radical to DNA base pairs (G–C and A–T), we investigated the reaction mechanism in water, by the use of the density functional theory (DFT) calculations by considering water molecules explicitly. The results reveal that OH-radical is stabilized near the NH$_{2}$ group of cytosine of G–C by the water molecules hydrogen bonded to the OH-radical and that 2.5 kcal/mol activation free energy is needed for extracting the hydrogen atom from the NH$_{2}$ group. On the other hand, OH-radical prefers to extract the hydrogen atom from the NH$_{2}$ group of adenine in the solvated A–T. As for the tautomeric reaction of the base pair attacked by OH-radical, we found the transition state for the reaction from A to T to its tautomeric form A*–T*, although the activation free energy is rather large (25 kcal/mol). By contrast, in the G–C attacked by OH-radical, one central proton can move freely from G to C, resulting in the tautomeric form G*–C*. Therefore, our DFT calculations in explicit water molecules elucidate the possibility that the attacking of OH-radical to G–C causes its tautomeric form G*–C*, while A–T attacked by OH-radical cannot transform into its A*–T* form in a normal condition. This finding will be useful for predicting the effect of OH-radical on the genetic information recorded in DNA base sequences. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
