Open it the atoms have a partial charge. Th ese two factors make the combination of van der Waals and electrostatic interactions between stacked bases particularly strong. Th ese eff ects are known collectively as base-stacking interactions, and <span>they provide the dominant contribution to stabilizing the dou- ble-helical conformation of nucleic acids.<span><body><html>
