Abstract: | ![]() A computational study of hydrogen-bonded complexes between the oxo-/hydroxo-amino N7/9H tautomers of guanine and water, methanol, and hydrogen peroxide has been performed at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level of theory. The mechanisms of the water-, methanol-, and hydrogen peroxide-assisted proton transfers in guanine were studied and compared with the intramolecular proton transfer in guanine in the gas phase. It was found that the assisted proton transfers pass through about three times lower energy barriers than those found for isolated guanine tautomers.
