Abstract

We propose a new analytical potential function to model proton transfer in the adenine-thymine base pair and develop a non-adiabatic quantum mechanical framework to calculate genetic mutation probabilities. This potential has been used to calculate the probability of mutation in a non-adiabatic process. The results of the new model have been shown to be consistent with the findings of other researchers.
