Abstract

To provide an insight how this only one more (or less) hydration site influences the pattern of hydration of this nucleic acid building blocks, computer simulation studies have been undertaken. The objectives of the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies of Cyd, dCyd and their phosphate salts in aqueous solutions were: 1. to compare the hydration pattern of the studied compounds in the ribo and deoxyribo series at the level of microscopic interactions, 2. to study intermolecular interactions in these molecular systems, 3. to explain the unexpectedly big difference in solubiity between the studied compounds in the ribo and deoxyribo series.
