30. 2 has shown that, for most systems (including DNA), the additional electronic density rearrangement produced by the self consistency of the vdW interaction is negligible at typical nuclear separations, thus enabling this less expensive perturbation method to be applied.

37. 2 It gives a substantially weaker dependence of energy on geometry, notably in the repulsive regime that is a substantial contributor to the Twist in our DNA calculations, thus indicating a possible reason for the discrepancy. The use of methyl terminations of the backbone connections is another difference between ref 10 and this work, where hydrogen terminations are used.
