Double or nothing : Large‐scale density functional calculations are used to study the formation of a large polaron on three proximal guanines (see picture). The formation was observed by step by step following of a proton‐coupled charge transfer. The role played by the double proton transfer and a new and unexpected role for the tautomers of G and C were found.
