The importance of many-body dispersion effects in layered materials subjected to high external loads is evaluated. State-of-the-art many-body dispersion density functional theory calculations performed for graphite, hexagonal boron nitride, and their heterostructures were used to fit the parameters of a

Hydrophobic base analogues (HBAs) have shown great promise for the expansion of the chemical and coding potential of nucleic acids but are generally poor polymerase substrates. While extensive synthetic efforts have yielded examples of HBAs with favorable substrate properties, their

The nature of DNA containing the deoxyribosyl derivative of 5-nitroindole has been investigated. 5-Nitroindole has been shown to give good stability when present in duplexes opposite natural bases, with only slightly reduced melting temperatures. However, enhanced stability occurs when it
