#' Some Physicochemical Properties of DNA bases
#' 
#' This data set carries some relevant physicochemical properties of the 
#' DNA bases. Available properties are:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{"proton_affinity: "}{It is an indicatio of the thermodynamic 
#'    gradient between a molecule and the anionic form of that molecule upon
#'    removal of a proton from it
#'    (\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_affinity}{Wikipedia}). The
#'    proton affinity values, given in kJ/mol, were taken from reference (1),
#'    also available in Wolfram Alpha at https://www.wolframalpha.com/ and in
#'    the cell phone App 'Wolfram Alpha'.. Reference (2) provides several
#'    measurements accomplished by several computational and experimental
#'    approaches.
#'   }       
#'   \item{"partition_coef: "}{1-octanol/water partition coefficients, logP. 
#'   In the physical sciences, a partition coefficient (P) or distribution 
#'   coefficient (D) is the ratio of concentrations of a compound in a mixture
#'   of two immiscible solvents at equilibrium (3). The partition coefficient 
#'   measures how hydrophilic ("water-loving") or hydrophobic ("water-fearing")
#'   a chemical substance is. Partition coefficients are useful in estimating 
#'   the distribution of drugs within the body. Hydrophobic drugs with high 
#'   octanol-water partition coefficients are mainly distributed to hydrophobic
#'   areas such as lipid bilayers of cells. Conversely, hydrophilic drugs 
#'   (low octanol/water partition coefficients) are found primarily in aqueous
#'   regions such as blood serum. The partition coefficient values included
#'   here were taken from reference (1), also available in Wolfram Alpha at
#'   https://www.wolframalpha.com/  and in the cell phone App 'Wolfram Alpha'.
#'   }  
#'   \item{"dipole_moment: "}{Dipole-dipole, dipole-induced-dipole and London 
#'   force interactions among the bases in the helix are large, and make the 
#'   free energy of the helix depend on the base composition and sequence. The
#'   dipole moment values were taken from reference (4). The dipole moment of 
#'   DNA bases refers to the measure of polarity in the chemical bonds between
#'   atoms within the nucleobases. Dipole moments arise due to differences in 
#'   electronegativity between the bonded atoms. In DNA bases, these dipole 
#'   moments can influence the orientation of the bases when interacting with
#'   other molecules or surfaces, such as graphene/h-BN interfaces. The concept
#'   of dipole moments has been applied to analyze the electric moments of 
#'   RNA-binding proteins, which can help identify DNA-binding proteins and 
#'   provide insights into their mechanisms and prediction.
#'   }
#'   \item{"tautomerization_energy: "}{The term “tautomerism” is usually 
#'   defined as structural isomerism with a low barrier to interconversion
#'   between the isomers, for example, the enol/imino forms for cytosine and
#'   guanine. Tautomerization is a process where the chemical structure of a
#'   molecule, such as DNA bases, undergoes a rearrangement of its atoms. This
#'   rearrangement results in the formation of different isomers, called
#'   tautomers, which can exist in solution or in a cell. The DNA bases can
#'   undergo tautomeric shifts, which can potentially contribute to mutagenic
#'   mispairings during DNA replication. The energy required for
#'   tautomerization of DNA bases is known as tautomerization energy. These
#'   values were taken from reference (2) and the value for each base
#'   corresponds to the average of the values estimated from different
#'   measurement approaches.
