The aromatic ring in DNA bases affects the Watson-Crick binding strength. Our quantum-chemical analyses, which compare the hydrogen bonding between the DNA bases and unsaturated analogs lacking the aromatic ring, reveal that this arises not from π-resonance assistance but from the electron-withdrawing (purines) or electron-donating (pyrimidines) effect of the heteroatom-containing ring on the frontier atoms. This electron redistribution modulates the electrostatics, steric Pauli repulsion, and σ-orbital interactions upon hydrogen bonding.
DNA碱基中的芳香环会影响沃森-克里克碱基对的结合强度。我们的量子化学分析比较了DNA碱基与不含芳香环的不饱和类似物之间的氢键，结果表明，这种影响并非源于π共振辅助，而是来自含杂原子环对前沿原子的吸电子（嘌呤）或供电子（嘧啶）效应。这种电子重新分布在形成氢键时会调节静电作用、空间泡利排斥作用和σ轨道相互作用。
