TNA/DNA hybrids share several similarities to RNA/DNA, such as the tendency to form A-type helices and a strong dependency of their thermodynamic properties on purine/pyrimidine ratio. However, unlike RNA/DNA, not much is known about the base-pair properties of TNA. Here, we use a mesoscopic analysis of measured melting temperatures to obtain an estimate of hydrogen bonds and stacking interactions. Our results reveal that the AT base pairs in TNA/DNA have nearly identical hydrogen bond strengths than their counterparts in RNA/DNA, but surprisingly CG turned out to be much weaker despite similar stability.

The infrared spectra of the copigments of malvin with several organic acids: caffeic, ferulic, sinapic, chlorogenic, and tannic, were analyzed in order to elucidate the bonding of the molecules in the copigments. It was established that copigmentation is realized through hydrogen bonding between malvin molecules and the acids under study. The infrared spectra reveal that two groups of hydrogen bonds are formed, which include interactions of different molecular structures: hydroxy groups (bands around 3500 cm-1) and oxonium ions of the molecules (bands below 3000 cm-1). The formed hydrogen bonds were found to be of different strengths. The strengths of the hydrogen bonds were tentatively correlated with thermodynamic properties of the corresponding copigmentation reactions.

The focus of discussion in Working Group 3 was on the Thermodynamic Properties as determined spectroscopically, including the observational techniques and the theoretical modeling of physical processes responsible for the emission spectrum. Recent advances in observational techniques and theoretical concepts make this discussion particularly timely. It is wise to remember that the determination of thermodynamic parameters is not an end in itself and that these are interesting chiefly for what they can tell us about the energetics and mass transport in prominences.
