A–T Base Pairs are More Stable Than G–C Base Pairs in a Hydrated Ionic Liquid

Abstract

A green solvent: Quantitative thermodynamic analyses shows that A–T base pairs are more stable than G–C base pairs in the hydrated ionic-liquid choline dihydrogenphosphate because of specific interactions between DNA bases and choline ions.
