Probing the acetylcholinesterase inhibition of sarin: a comparative interaction study of the inhibitor and acetylcholine with a model enzyme cavity

Interaction energies have been estimated between sarin and a model enzyme cavity of acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) using the density functional and M?ller-Plesset second-order perturbation (MP2) levels of theories. The calculated interaction energies have been compared with those of acetylcholine and the same model ACHE cavity. The ACHE...sarin and ACHE...acetylcholine (Ach) structures have been optimized using DFT based two-layer ONIOM hybrid calculations. The nature of interactions has been investigated in detail using an interaction energy partitioning technique. The effects of solvation on the interaction energies have also been taken into account. An inhibition mechanism during the uptake of sarin inside the ACHE cavity has been proposed from the comparison of the energetics of the ACHE...sarin and ACHE...Ach complexes.     

Freezing temperatures and enthalpies of dilution of aqueous solutions of amides. Gibbs energies and enthalpies of interaction of the N,N-dimethylamide group in aqueous solutions

Enthalpies of dilution, freezing temperatures, and densities of aqueous solutions of N,N-dimethylacetamide and N,N-dimethylpropionamide have been measured. Freezing temperatures of dilute aqueous solutions of formamide and N,N-dimethylformamide have also been measured. These data yield the pairwise molecular Gibbs energies and enthalpies of interaction: these have been treated according to a group additivity principle to give pairwise functional group Gibbs energies and enthalpies of interaction. The results indicate that substitution on the amide nitrogen may increase the Gibbs energy and enthalpy of interaction of the amide group with itself in an aqueous environment but the effect if present is small.     

Transferability of some properties of localized molecular orbitals

The role of ligands on protein retention in adsorption chromatography: A surface energetics approach

Protein adsorption onto hydrophobic chromatographic supports has been investigated using a colloid theory surface energetics approach. The surface properties of commercially available chromatographic beads, Toyopearl Phenyl 650‐C, and Toyopearl Butyl 650‐C, have been experimentally determined by contact angle and zeta potential measurements. The adsorption characteristics of these beads, which bear the same backbone matrix but harbor different ligands, have been studied toward selected model proteins, in the hydrated as well as dehydrated state. There were two prominent groups of proteins observed with respect to the chromatographic supports presented in this work: loosely retained proteins, which were expected to have lower average interaction energies, and the strongly retained proteins, which were expected to have higher average interaction energies. Results were also compared and contrasted with calculations derived from adsorbent surface energies determined by inverse liquid chromatography. These results showed a good qualitative agreement, and the interaction energy minima obtained from these extended Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey and Overbeek calculations were shown to correlate well with the experimentally determined adsorption behavior of each protein.     

Polarizable interaction potential for water from coupled cluster calculations. I. Analysis of dimer potential energy surface

A six-dimensional interaction potential for the water dimer has been fitted to ab initio interaction energies computed at 2510 dimer configurations. These energies were obtained by combining the supermolecular second-order energies extrapolated to the complete basis set limit from up to quadruple-zeta quality basis sets with the contribution from the coupled-cluster method including single, double, and noniterative triple excitations computed in a triple-zeta quality basis set. All basis sets were augmented by diffuse functions and supplemented by midbond functions. The energies have been fitted using an analytic form with the induction component represented by a polarizable term, making the potential directly transferable to clusters and the bulk phase. Geometries and energies of stationary points on the potential surface agree well with the results of high-level ab initio geometry optimizations.     

Quantum-Chemical Study of the Oxidative Ability of Nitro Compounds Using Decomposition of Some Simple Amines in the Presence of Triplet Nitromethane as an Example

The photooxidation of amines with triplet nitromethane has been studied using the uB3LYP/6-311g* method. The activation energies for hydrogen atom abstraction from ammonia and the amino group of methylamine or aniline have been found to be 14.1, 4.9, and 6.3 kJ mol^?1, respectively.

Quantum Monte Carlo study of ground and first excited state of C,N, O,F, and Ne atoms using Slater-Jastrow-Backflow wave function

All-electron fixed-node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo energies of the two lowest-lying states of C, N, O, F, and Ne atoms are reported. The Slater-Jastrow form is used as the trial wave function. We will use single- and multideterminant wave functions as the Slater part. The single-determinant wave function has been computed by the Hartree-Fock method and the multideterminant wave functions have been computed by the complete active space self-consistent field, configuration interaction with single and double excitation, configuration interaction with single, double, triple, and quadruple excitation and second-order configuration interaction. For the ground- and first excited states, the multideterminant wave functions have computed more than 99% of the correlation energy. Significant improvements have been achieved using the backflow transformations and up to 99.8% of the correlation energy has been recovered. A very good agreement with the experimental data has been obtained for the excitation energies.     

Conformational analysis—133: 3,3-dimethyl-2,4-pentanedione. The importance of induction and solvationTetrahedron 34, 3385 (1978).

The conformations of the title compound have been analyzed in detail with respect to steric interaction energies, charge interaction energies, and solvation energies in heptane and benzene. Using previously developed methods, which include induction by dipoles in polarizable bonds, and the solvation of molecular dipoles and quadrupoles, predictions regarding the conformational equilibrium are made. These were tested by experimental determination of the dipole moment of the molecule in heptane and benzene, and are in agreement with the predictions. More simplified calculations lead to qualitatively erroneous results.     

Freezing temperatures of aqueous solutions of methyl formate and ethyl acetate with a variety of nonelectrolytes. Gibbs energy of interaction of the ester group with other functional groups

Freezing temperatures of dilute aqueous solutions of ethyl acetate and mixtures with myo-inositol, D-mannitol, formamide, 1,3,5-trioxane, 1,4-dioxane, acetamide, hexamethylenetetramine, and methyl formate have been measured. In addition, freezing temperatures of dilute aqueous solutions of methyl formate and mixtures with the above solutes have been measured. From these data, the pairwise molecular Gibbs energies of interaction between the molecules were calculated. Using the additivity principle, the pairwise functional group Gibbs energies of interaction were calculated for ester group interactions with a variety of other functional groups.     

Interaction of anions with perfluoro aromatic compounds

The complexes formed by a variety of anions with perfluoro derivatives of benzene, naphthalene, pyridine, thiophene, and furan have been calculated using DFT (B3LYP/6-31++G**) and MP2 (MP2/6-31++G** and MP2/6-311++G**) ab initio methods. The minimum structures show the anion interacting with the pi-cloud of the aromatic compounds. The interaction energies obtained range between -8 and -19 kcal mol(-1). The results obtained at the MP2/6-31++G** and MP2/6-311++G** levels are similar. However, the B3LYP/6-31++G** results provide longer interaction distances and smaller interaction energies than do the MP2 results. The interaction energies have been partitioned using an electrostatic, polarization, and van der Waals scheme. The AIM analysis of the electron density shows a variety of topologies depending on the aromatic system considered.
