 Dear Netters,
 I am looking for references to any experimental and/or
 theoretical data on solvation free energies of DNA nucleotides
 (pA, pT, pC and pG).
 Since these may be difficult to obtain, i would also be happy to
 have data on related species. I already have data on the DNA bases
 alone; what i am looking for is free energies of solvation of
 phosphate-sugar-base systems.
 Any and all information, suggestions (i.e. subtle hints on efficient
 computer searching), etc. would be greatly appreciated.
 Thanks in advance,
 Wayne Sonnen
