Abstract
A multistep modeling procedure has been evolved to study the structural changes introduced by lesions in DNA. We report here the change in the structure of regular B-DNA geometry due to the incorporation of Ganti-Aanti mispair in place of a regular G-C pair, preserving the helix continuity. The energetics of the structure so obtained is compared with the Ganti-Asyn configuration under similar constrained conditions. We present the methodology adopted and discuss the results.
