The fully optimized geometries of the metal complexes were obtained and the stabilization energies of the interaction between metal adducts and nucleobase were calculated with B3LYP method by using 6-31* basis set for the light atom. While the effective core potential (ECP) is used for metal cation. The results show that both cispalladium and cisnickel cause similar geometric changes of the base pair as cisplatin. For the coordination of metal adducts to guanine, platinum adduct possesses the highest stabilization energy; but the interaction between metal-guanine and cytosine for nickel is larger than that for platinum and palladium. It is worthy to note that hydrolysis effect can also cause significant changes in H-bonds.展开更多
