36. α coupling, one might expect the largest principal value to be more like 50 MHz. The somewhat smaller experimental value presented here most likely results from difficulties in following the experimental data.

41. It should be emphasized, that, in the energetics above, the fact that in the crystal structures the uracils form five hydrogen bonds, whereas the cytosines form only three (cf. Figure 2) has not been considered explicitly, but only via the polarized continuum model.
