What is DFT study of the electronic properties of DNA–DNA and PNA–DNA double strands about?
## Abstract The electronic properties of DNA–DNA and PNA–DNA double strands having 3–6 base pairs (bp) were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The binding energies and the highest occupied molecular orbital–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO–LUMO) energy gaps for the PNA–DNA hybrids in the vapor phase are found to be greater than those for the DNA–DNA hybrids, regardless of the number of base pairs involved. The study supports the experimental finding that PNA displays high affinity toward a complementary DNA and that PNA–DNA strands are much more thermodynamically stable than their DNA–DNA counterparts. The results suggest much higher sensitivity in DNA sequencing with the arrays of PNA than with those of DNA. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2006
