The edges of each base pair are exposed in the major and minor grooves, creating a pattern of hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors and of hydrophobic groups (allowing for Vander Waals interactions) that identifies the base pair. The edge of an C : G base pair displays the following chemical groups in the following order in the major groove:
