Abstract
A new approach is proposed to more accurately estimate the energies of H-bond interactions in three-dimensional (3D) molecular modelling. The approach is based on the use of H-bond acceptor and donor enthalpy factor values calculated by means of program HYBOT, the use of a sigmoid relationship to determine the optimum H-bond distances and established force-field methods to determine distance and angle dependencies. The base-pair interactions in a short A-form RNA double-helix are presented as an example of enthalpy calculations of hydrogen bonding for a model system.Entities:
