Simulated Annealing Method for the Automated Simulation of DNA Dynamics in the HhaI Protein Binding Site

Table 2

The potential, given in equation (5), was used for these simulations of the purine furanose rings. The values for along with other parameters used to fit each of the 4 simulated line shapes in Figure 5 are given.
