The index of a repeat that a residue belongs to.
HDO is the abbreviation of hydrogen bond occupancy.
DNA base belonging to the sense strand of DNA.
Hydrogen bonds in bold and nonbold reflect the specific and nonspecific interactions, respectively. Bold in italics denotes the specific and water-mediated hydrogen bonds.
