Understanding atomic bonding and electronic distributions of a DNA molecule using DFT calculation and BOLS-BC model

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is an important molecule that has been extensively researched, mainly due to its structure and function. Herein, we investigated the electronic behavior of the DNA molecule containing 1008 atoms using density functional theory. The bond-charge (BC) model shows the relatio...
