The potential energy surface for the interaction of uracil with one water molecule is investigated using ab initio techniques. The structures of four cyclic minima, as well as two transition-state structures, have been determined using second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and the interaction-optimized DZPi basis set. At the optimized geometries, the counterpoise-corrected interaction energies have also been computed with a slightly larger basis set containing bond functions, labeled ESPB.
