Deduction of structural information of interfacial proteins by combined vibrational spectroscopic methods

We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally that the combination of vibrational spectroscopic techniques on samples can be used to deduce more detailed structural information of interfacial proteins and peptides. Such an approach can be used to elucidate structures of proteins or peptides at interfaces, such as at the solid/liquid interface or in cell membranes. We also discuss that the controlled perturbations may provide more measured parameters for structural studies on such proteins and peptides. In this paper, we will demonstrate that optical spectroscopic techniques such as polarized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy, and higher order nonlinear vibrational spectroscopies can be used to deduce different and complementary structural information of molecules at interfaces (e.g., orientation information of certain functional groups and secondary structures of interfacial proteins). Also, we believe that controlled perturbations on samples, such as variation of sample temperature, application of electrical fields, and alternation of substrate roughness, can provide more detailed information regarding the interfacial structures of proteins and peptides. The development of nonlinear vibrational spectroscopies, such as SFG and four-wave mixing vibrational spectroscopy, to examine interfacial protein and peptide structures, and introduction of external perturbations on samples should be able to substantially advance our knowledge in understanding structures and thus functions of proteins and peptides at interfaces.     

Irreducible representation and projection operator application to understanding nonlinear optical phenomena: hyper-Raman, sum frequency generation, and four-wave mixing spectroscopy

Symmetry plays an essential role in understanding optical activities of a molecule in infrared and Raman vibrational spectroscopy as well as in nonlinear optical vibrational spectroscopy. Each vibrational mode belongs to an irreducible representation of the underlying symmetry group. In this paper, using the alpha-helical polypeptide symmetry as an example, we calculate all the third rank nonzero hyper-Raman tensors as well as the infrared and Raman tensors by applying the projection operators to each irreducible species. We demonstrate that the projection operator method provides selection rules for the infrared, Raman, and hyper-Raman vibrational transitions and also other nonlinear optical spectroscopy such as sum frequency generation and the four-, five-, and six-wave mixing coherent vibrational transitions. Specific expressions for all nonzero elements of the corresponding nonlinear susceptibility tensors in a laboratory-fixed coordinate frame are also deduced.     

Signatures of beta-peptide unfolding in two-dimensional vibrational echo spectroscopy: a simulation study.

An ensemble of exciton Hamiltonians for the amide-I band of the folded and unfolded states of a helical beta-heptapeptide is generated using a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The correlated fluctuations of its parameters and their signatures in two-dimensional (2D) vibrational echo spectroscopy are computed. This technique uses infrared pulse sequences to provide ultrafast snapshots of molecular structural fluctuations, in analogy with multidimensional NMR. The present study demonstrates that, by combining a method of calculating the vibrational Hamiltonian from MD snapshots and the nonlinear exciton equations (NEE), it may be possible to simulate realistic multidimensional IR spectra of chemically and biologically interesting systems.     

Probing the spin multiplicity of gas-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through their infrared emission spectrum: A theoretical study

The anharmonic infrared emission spectrum following an optical excitation has been calculated for a variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules in their ground singlet electronic state or in their triplet state. The computational protocol relies on second-order perturbation theory and involves a quartic vibrational Hamiltonian, the vibrational quantum numbers being sampled according to a Monte Carlo procedure. In the case of neutral naphthalene, the IR spectrum obtained in the (ground) singlet state differs significantly from the spectrum in the triplet state, especially for out-of-plane CH bending modes. Although not as prominent, spectral differences in larger molecules are still observable.     

Mid-infrared second-order susceptibility of alpha-quartz and its application to visible-infrared surface sum-frequency spectroscopy

We provide the first account of the second-order susceptibility of quartz down to 10 mum (1000 cm(-1)) and show how this data may be used along with the sum-frequency response of an amorphous gold surface to elucidate the nonlinear susceptibility of any material in the mid-infrared region. Crystalline quartz is an established material for use in second-harmonic and sum-frequency generation studies of new systems, on account of its well-characterized linear and nonlinear optical properties. Previous knowledge of its nonlinear susceptibility has been limited to its transparent region, wavelengths shorter than about 3 mum. Longer wavelength chi((2)) values for quartz are particularly important for techniques such as vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy which are expanding into the mid-IR with the increasing availability of widely tunable infrared laser sources.     

Simulation of vibrational energy transfer in two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy of amide I and amide II modes in solution

Population transfer between vibrational eigenstates is important for many phenomena in chemistry. In solution, this transfer is induced by fluctuations in molecular conformation as well as in the surrounding solvent. We develop a joint electrostatic density functional theory map that allows us to connect the mixing of and thereby the relaxation between the amide I and amide II modes of the peptide building block N-methyl acetamide. This map enables us to extract a fluctuating vibrational Hamiltonian from molecular dynamics trajectories. The linear absorption spectrum, population transfer, and two-dimensional infrared spectra are then obtained from this Hamiltonian by numerical integration of the Schrodinger equation. We show that the amide I/amide II cross peaks in two-dimensional infrared spectra in principle allow one to follow the vibrational population transfer between these two modes. Our simulations of N-methyl acetamide in heavy water predict an efficient relaxation between the two modes with a time scale of 790 fs. This accounts for most of the relaxation of the amide I band in peptides, which has been observed to take place on a time scale of 450 fs in N-methyl acetamide. We therefore conclude that in polypeptides, energy transfer to the amide II mode offers the main relaxation channel for the amide I vibration.     

Two-dimensional Raman and infrared vibrational spectroscopy for a harmonic oscillator system nonlinearly coupled with a colored noise bath

Multidimensional vibrational response functions of a harmonic oscillator are reconsidered by assuming nonlinear system-bath couplings. In addition to a standard linear-linear (LL) system-bath interaction, we consider a square-linear (SL) interaction. The LL interaction causes the vibrational energy relaxation, while the SL interaction is mainly responsible for the vibrational phase relaxation. The dynamics of the relevant system are investigated by the numerical integration of the Gaussian-Markovian Fokker-Planck equation under the condition of strong couplings with a colored noise bath, where the conventional perturbative approach cannot be applied. The response functions for the fifth-order nonresonant Raman and the third-order infrared (or equivalently the second-order infrared and the seventh-order nonresonant Raman) spectra are calculated under the various combinations of the LL and the SL coupling strengths. Calculated two-dimensional response functions demonstrate that those spectroscopic techniques are very sensitive to the mechanism of the system-bath couplings and the correlation time of the bath fluctuation. We discuss the primary optical transition pathways involved to elucidate the corresponding spectroscopic features and to relate them to the microscopic sources of the vibrational nonlinearity induced by the system-bath interactions. Optical pathways for the fifth-order Raman spectroscopies from an "anisotropic" medium were newly found in this study, which were not predicted by the weak system-bath coupling theory or the standard Brownian harmonic oscillator model.     

Theoretical calculation and vibrational spectral analysis of L-arginine trifluoroacetate

Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra of the nonlinear optical crystal, L-arginine trifluoroacetate (L-arginine.CF3COOH, abbreviated as LATF) have been calculated by the first-principles calculation and investigated in experiment. The calculated results are slightly different from those experimental values because of the distinction resulted from the intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The role of this type of intermolecular interaction on the crystal vibrational spectra and nonlinear optical properties has been discussed. The absorption-edge on the IR side has been estimated by the theoretical approach on basis of the calculated infrared spectrum, which will be meaningful for further research on NLO crystal.     

Vibrational-exciton couplings for the amide I, II, III, and A modes of peptides

The couplings between all amide fundamentals and their overtones and combination vibrational states are calculated. Combined with the level energies reported previously (Hayashi, T.; Zhuang, W.; Mukamel, S. J. Phys. Chem. A 2005, 109, 9747), we obtain a complete effective vibrational Hamiltonian for the entire amide system. Couplings between neighboring peptide units are obtained using the anharmonic vibrational Hamiltonian of glycine dipeptide (GLDP) at the BPW91/6-31G(d,p) level. Electrostatic couplings between non-neighboring units are calculated by the fourth rank transition multipole coupling (TMC) expansion, including 1/R3 (dipole-dipole), 1/R4 (quadrupole-dipole), and 1/R5 (quadrupole-quadrupole and octapole-dipole) interactions. Exciton delocalization length and its variation with frequency in the various amide bands are calculated. The simulated infrared amide I and II absorptions and CD spectra of 24 residue alpha-helical motifs (SPE3) are in good agreement with experiment.     

Interpreting nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy with the classical mechanical analogs of double-sided Feynman diagrams

Observables in coherent, multiple-pulse infrared spectroscopy may be computed from a vibrational nonlinear response function. This response function is conventionally calculated quantum-mechanically, but the challenges in applying quantum mechanics to large, anharmonic systems motivate the examination of classical mechanical vibrational nonlinear response functions. We present an approximate formulation of the classical mechanical third-order vibrational response function for an anharmonic solute oscillator interacting with a harmonic solvent, which establishes a clear connection between classical and quantum mechanical treatments. This formalism permits the identification of the classical mechanical analog of the pure dephasing of a quantum mechanical degree of freedom, and suggests the construction of classical mechanical analogs of the double-sided Feynman diagrams of quantum mechanics, which are widely applied to nonlinear spectroscopy. Application of a rotating wave approximation permits the analytic extraction of signals obeying particular spatial phase matching conditions from a classical-mechanical response function. Calculations of the third-order response function for an anharmonic oscillator coupled to a harmonic solvent are compared to numerically correct classical mechanical results.
