Description We report reference quantum chemical calculations of base pairing energies for a representative selection of 25 RNA base pairs utilizing the ribose moiety for base pairing, including structures with amino akceptor interactions. These calculations confirm that, compared to canonical base pairs, many RNA base pairs exhibit a modestly increased role of dispersion attraction compared to canonical base pairs.
