Abstract
For nucleotide bases and their derivatives, the atomic charges calcula ted by the extended Mulliken population analysis within the NDDO appro ximation reproduce excellently the quantum chemical electrostatic pote ntial field outside the molecular van der Waals surface. It follows th at in the case of nucleic acids we have a fast and reliable method for the calculation of molecular electrostatic potential maps and atomic charges.
