Table 1. OPs (V) of Nucleosides Relative to OP of Deoxyguanosine.

	AM1^a	experiment^b
dA	0.23	0.47
dC	0.59	0.65
dT	0.63	0.62

The geometries are fully optimized.

In the experiment,(44) the solvent was acetonitrile. The solvation energy for the solvent change acetonitrile/H₂O is calculated to be −0.02 eV using the Born equation,(44) and thus, the correction to the relative OP for the solvent change is negligible.
