Abstract
Bonds and order: The stability of the B-DNA double helix is shown (see illustration), based on dispersion-corrected density functional computations, to depend not only on the number of hydrogen bonds in Watson-Crick base pairs but also on the order and orientation in which these base pairs occur.
