	'''Base stacking''' is a common arrangement of nucleobases found in the three dimensional structure of [[nucleic acids]]. Bases (or base pairs) are planar, and these planes stack at contact distance (about 3.4 Angstrom), excluding water and maximizing Van der Waals interactions. In terms of structural stability of nucleic acids in aqueous solution, the stacking interactions of bases play a larger role than the hydrogen bonds formed by the bases.<ref> PMID:16449200</ref>		'''Base stacking''' is a common arrangement of nucleobases found in the three dimensional structure of [[Nucleic Acids\|nucleic acids]].
