SASA values
of the organic cores in SMDH2 cyclic dimers
as a function of DNA length. The black, red, and green trends represent
the results for [3′-C-3′]:[3′-C-3′]′, [5′-C-3′]:[5′-C-3′]′, and [5′-C-5′]:[5′-C-5′]′,
respectively, where the lowest SASA values for the organic cores were
extracted from simulated annealing MD simulations with final restraint
energies and duplex rmsd values less than 10 kcal/mol and 10 Å,
respectively.
