25. This π interaction contains an important contribution from van der Waals attraction between the surface and the molecule; it therefore scales with the number of atoms in the molecule, and can be very important for large molecules: F.

28. This number is a lower bound, as DFT largely ignores van der Waals interactions. However, some van der Waals interaction has been reported with the same exchange-correlation function that we employed (S. Grimme, J. Comput. Chem. 2004, 25, 1463-1473).
29. -1. To fill in all quartets in a full monolayer of G-quartet structures with molecules from the residual gas, a period longer than 1 day would be needed.
30. Each guanine island is enantiomerically pure, but different islands can have different configurations, giving rise to an overall racemic mixture.
