Abstract
Interaction of DNA bases and base pairs with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as finite size models of graphene were studied theoretically using the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The finite size PAH optimized in a plane were used as finite size models of graphene. These structures were optimized at the B3LYP, B98 and MPW1PW91 functionals of DFT along with the 6–31G(d,p) basis set. For the stability of bases and base pairs, binding energies with and without basis set superposition error (BSSE) were calculated at mentioned levels. The calculated binding energies indicates that edges of PAHs are more feasible for reactions.
