Structural Properties of G,T-Parallel Duplexes

Table 4

Percentage (from maximum number possible) of hydrogen bond detected in the different simulations. Partition between different types or pairs (A·T, A-T, G·C+, and G-G) is included. &The total number of hydrogen bond includes reverse Watson-Crick hydrogen bonds detected in the trajectory.
