18. This functional uses a Vosko-Wilk-Nusair potential for correlation, and in contrast to LDA, it uses exact Hartree-Fock for exchange (instead of the Slater exchange used in LDA).

25. The DFT calculated values for twisting angle (32°-36°) and helical angle (54°-56°) are also in very good agreement with the reported experimental values [11] of (37°-45°) and (60°), respectively.

27. VWN functionals overestimate the band-gap value mostly because of the use of Hartree-Fock exchange; this is a well-known pitfall of the Hartree-Fock method. A more systematic comparison of B3LYP and PBE functionals has been performed on nucleotide base stacks: Z. S. Szekeres, F. Bogàr, J. Ladik, Int. J. Quant. Chem. 2005, 102, 422.
