base stacking
« on: July 10, 2015, 05:40:19 am »
sir,

Does any helical parameter is directly related to base stacking so that we can a give an account of relative base stacking strength other than visual observation with mstacking or base overlap?

The base-overlap area is an intuitive parameter to quantify stacking interactions that matches visual  observations. As regard to the correlation between base-stacking interactions and helical parameters, why not you have a try with some examples? I guess the correlation would depend on DNA conformations. Among other parameters, slide should be a related one.

HTH,
