Table 6.

Deviations of dihedral angles and pucker (in °) of antiparallel G-DNA stem from the reference structure (MD – X-ray, the 50–100 ns period), K+ -net neutral simulations in SPC/E. The average X-ray values is the first item on each line. See Figure S3 (Supporting Information) for the values obtained for the individual nucleotides.
