摘要

Structures of mono- and dihydrated adenine dimers and their cations were calculated using B3LYP density functional theory with the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set, in order to help understand photofragmentation experiments of hydrated adenine dimers from the energetics point of view. Several important pathways leading to the major fragmentation product, protonated adenine ion (AH~+), thermodynamically at minimum costs were investigated at the ground-state electronic potential surface of hydrated adenine dimer cations. Our calculations suggest that the proton transfer from one adenine moiety to the other in hydrated dimer ions readily occurs with negligible barriers in normal hydration conditions. In asymmetrically hydrated ions, however, the proton transfer to more hydrated adenine moieties is kinetically hindered due to heightened transition-state barriers, while the other way is still barrierless. Such directional preference in proton transfer may be characterized as a unique dimer ion property, stemming from the difference in basicity of the two nitrogen atoms involved in the double hydrogen bond that would be equivalent without hydration. We also found that dimer cleavage requires about 4 times larger energy than evaporation of individual water molecules, so it is likely that most solvent molecules evaporate before the eventual dimer cleavage when available internal energy is limited.
