DNA molecular solvation in neat ionic liquids
| Resumo: | DNA in ionic liquids: Room-temperature ionic liquids provide a molecular environment for biomolecular systems distinct from common molecular solvents such as water. The mechanism of DNA solvation and stabilization by RTIL cations and anions is described herein. The important role of anions and the hydrogen-bonding interactions of the cations with the DNA bases is stressed. The picture shows an example of such interactions. © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
