Abstract

Topological features of potential energy hypersurface of canonical nucleotide bases calculated by semiem-pirical quantum-chemical AMI method are analysed. Biophysical consequences of these features – cooperatMty, synergysm and adaptability of molecular recognition elementary acts with the nucleic acids participation – are considered.
