The coupling interactions and self-exchange reaction mechanisms between NO and ONH (NOH) have been systematically investigated at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. All the equilibrium complexes are characterized by the intermolecular H-bonds and co-planar geometries. The cisoid NOH/ON species is the most stable one among all the complexes considered due to the formation of an N – N bond. Moreover, all the cisoid complexes are found to be more stable than the corresponding transoid ones. The origin of the blueshifts occurring in the selected complexes has been explored, employing the natural bond orbital (NBO) calculations. Additionally, the proton transfer mechanisms for the self-exchange reactions have been proposed, i.e. they can proceed via the three-center proton-coupled electron transfer or five-center cyclic proton-coupled electron transfer mechanism.

The structure of G,T-parallel-stranded duplexes of DNA carrying similar amounts of adenine and guanine residues is studied by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and UV- and CD spectroscopies. In addition the impact of the substitution of adenine by 8-aminoadenine and guanine by 8-aminoguanine is analyzed. The presence of 8-aminoadenine and 8-aminoguanine stabilizes the parallel duplex structure. Binding of these oligonucleotides to their target polypyrimidine sequences to form the corresponding G,T-parallel triplex was not observed. Instead, when unmodified parallel-stranded duplexes were mixed with their polypyrimidine target, an interstrand Watson-Crick duplex was formed. As predicted by theoretical calculations parallel-stranded duplexes carrying 8-aminopurines did not bind to their target. The preference for the parallel-duplex over the Watson-Crick antiparallel duplex is attributed to the strong stabilization of the parallel duplex produced by the 8-aminopurines. Theoretical studies show that the isomorphism of the triads is crucial for the stability of the parallel triplex.
