Abstract
Hoogsteen sugar pattern of RNA base pairing is studied using density functional theory. Hydrogen bonding patterns of these base pairs are characteristized using NBO analysis and AIM analysis. Correlation between strength of base pairing and the nature of donor-acceptor combinations is also carried out.
