Abstract
A conformational comparative analysis of some 2' and 2',3'-dideoxypyri midine nucleosides 4'-substituted analogues was carried out by molecul ar mechanics and molecular orbital calculations. The influence of modi fications at the C6 of the pyrimidine ring with respect to the relativ e position of the glycosidic link has been studied by both methods. Th e charge distribution of these compounds was calculated by the semiemp irical method neglect of diatomic differential overlap.
