Highly reflective crystals of the nucleotide base guanine are widely distributed in animal coloration and visual systems. Organisms precisely control morphology organization to optimize different optical effects, but little is known about how this achieved. Here we examine a fundamental question that has remained unanswered after over 100 years research on guanine:
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) properties of solvated molecules are significantly affected by the solvent. We, therefore, employ a polarization consistent framework that efficiently addresses solvent polarizing environment effects. Toward this goal dielectric screened range separated hybrid (SRSH) functional is invoked with polarizable continuum model (PCM) to properly represent orbital gap in condensed phase. We build on success (RSH) functionals address erroneous tendency traditional...
