AA stands for anti–anti and AS (SA) for anti–syn (syn–anti) conformations. The mismatch (Figure 1) is B5–B14 (with B representing G or C bases). For AA, the value represents the total H-bond. The values under AS/SA in C-rich sequences represent the average of AS and SA. In G-rich sequences, in the AS and SA columns, the values in brackets correspond to B14(N3)–B5(H41) and those outside the brackets to the complementarys B5(N3)–B14(H41). All of the calculations use a 3.5 Å distance cutoff and a 135° angle cutoff. Percentages less than 2% are not listed.
