Thermochemical characteristics of nicotinamide protolytic equilibria in water-dimethylsulfoxide mixtures

The heat effects of nicotinamide protonation in water-dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solutions over the concentration range 0–0.75 DMSO mole fractions were determined calorimetrically at 25.00 ± 0.01°C and ionic strength 0.25 (NaClO₄). Changes in the enthalpy of protonation as the content of DMSO increased were found to be described by an S-shaped curve. This curve shape was caused by the dynamics of reagent solvation contributions as the concentration of DMSO grew with the predominance of the nicotinamide solvation contribution.     

Force field evaluation for biomolecular simulation: free enthalpies of solvation of polar and apolar compounds in various solvents.

Recently, the GROMOS biomolecular force field parameter set 53A6--which has been parametrized to reproduce experimentally determined free enthalpies of hydration and solvation in cyclohexane of amino acid side-chain analogs--was presented. To investigate the transferability of the new parameter set, we calculated free enthalpies of solvation of a range of polar and apolar compounds in different solvents (methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile, and acetone) from molecular dynamics simulations using the GROMOS 53A6 force field. For methanol and DMSO, parameters were used that are available in the 53A6 parameter set. For acetonitrile, a recently developed model was taken and for acetone, two models available in literature were used. We found that trends in and values for the solvation free enthalpies are in satisfactory agreement with experiment, except for the solvation in acetone for which deviations from experiment can be explained in terms of the properties of the models used.     

Vibrational spectroscopy and dynamics of azide ion in ionic liquid and dimethyl sulfoxide water mixtures

Steady-state and time-resolved infrared spectroscopy of the azide (N(3)-) anion has been used to characterize aqueous mixtures both with the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF(4)]) and with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). In the DMSO-water mixtures, two anion vibrational bands are observed for low water mole fractions (0 > X(w) > 0.25), which indicates a heterogeneous ion solvation environment. The band at 2000 cm(-1) observed for neat DMSO does not shift but decreases in amplitude as the amount of water is increased. Another band appears at slightly higher frequency at low X(w) (=0.05). As the amount of water is increased, this band shifts to higher frequency and becomes stronger and is attributed to azide with an increasing degree of hydration. At intermediate and high X(w), a single band is observed that shifts almost linearly with water mole fraction toward the bulk water value. The heterogeneity is evident from the infrared pump-probe studies in which the decay times depend on probe frequency at low mole fraction. For the azide spectra in IL-water mixtures, a single azide band is observed for each mole fraction mixture. The azide band shifts almost linearly with mole fraction, indicating nearly ideal mixing behavior. As with the DMSO-water mixtures, the time-resolved IR decay times are probe-frequency-dependent at low mole fraction, again indicating heterogeneous solvation. In both the DMSO and IL mixtures with water, the relaxation times are slower than would be expected from ideal mixing, suggesting that vibrational relaxation of azide is more sensitive than its vibrational frequency to the solvent structure. The results are discussed in terms of preferential solvation and the degree to which the azide shift and vibrational relaxation depend on the degree of water association in the mixtures.     

Absolute solvation free energy of Li+ and Na+ ions in dimethyl sulfoxide solution: a theoretical ab initio and cluster-continuum model study

The solvation of the lithium and sodium ions in dimethyl sulfoxide solution was theoretically investigated using ab initio calculations coupled with the hybrid cluster-continuum model, a quasichemical theory of solvation. We have investigated clusters of ions with up to five dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) molecules, and the bulk solvent was described by a dielectric continuum model. Our results show that the lithium and sodium ions have four and five DMSO molecules into the first coordination shell, and the calculated solvation free energies are -135.5 and -108.6 kcal mol(-1), respectively. These data suggest a solvation free energy value of -273.2 kcal mol(-1) for the proton in dimethyl sulfoxide solution, a value that is more negative than the present uncertain experimental value. This and previous studies on the solvation of ions in water solution indicate that the tetraphenylarsonium tetraphenylborate assumption is flawed and the absolute value of the free energy of transfer of ions from water to DMSO solution is higher than the present experimental values.     

Dependence of enthalpies of formation of the Cu<Superscript>2+</Superscript> complexes with glycinate ions on the composition of water—dimethylsulfoxide solvent

Enthalpies of the complexing reactions of copper (II) with glycinate ions in mixtures of water with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) containing up to 0.9 mole parts of organic component (298 K) were obtained using a titration calorimeter. It was established that upon an increase in the DMSO content, the exothermicity of complexing increases at the first and second steps of the coordination. The obtained results were analyzed from the viewpoint of the solvation approach, based on the thermodynamic characterization of all reagents. It was shown that the main origin of the increase in the exothermicity of the complexing reactions is a weakening of ligand solvation when the DMSO concentration increases.     

Preferential solvation of lysozyme by dimethyl sulfoxide in binary solutions of water and dimethyl sulfoxide

To reveal the denaturation mechanism of lysozyme by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), thermal stability of lysozyme and its preferential solvation by DMSO in binary solutions of water and DMSO was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and using densities of ternary solutions of water (1), DMSO (2) and lysozyme (3) at 298.15 K. A significant endothermic peak was observed in binary solutions of water and DMSO except for a solution with a mole fraction of DMSO (x ₂) of 0.4. As x ₂ was increased, the thermal denaturation temperature T _m decreased, but significant increases in changes in enthalpy and heat capacity for denaturation, ΔH _cal and ΔC _p, were observed at low x ₂ before decreasing. The obtained amount of preferential solvation of lysozyme by DMSO (∂g ₂/∂g ₃) was about 0.09 g g⁻¹ at low x ₂, indicating that DMSO molecules preferentially solvate lysozyme at low x ₂. In solutions with high x ₂, the amount of preferential solvation (∂g ₂/∂g ₃) decreased to negative values when lysozyme was denatured. These results indicated that DMSO molecules do not interact directly with lysozyme as denaturants such as guanidine hydrochloride and urea do. The DMSO molecules interact indirectly with lysozyme leading to denaturation, probably due to a strong interaction between water and DMSO molecules.     

LCST and UCST behavior of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) in DMSO/water mixed solvents studied by IR and micro-Raman spectroscopy

Temperature-responsive phase separations of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNiPAm)/dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)/water mixtures have been investigated by infrared and confocal micro-Raman spectroscopy. The ternary mixtures exhibited lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and upper critical solution temperature (UCST) phenomena at low and high DMSO concentrations, respectively. The amide I band of PNiPAm consists of two components; the intensity of the 1650 cm-1 component increased, and that of the 1625 cm-1 component decreased with increasing temperature during both LCST and UCST phase transitions. Gradual red shifts of the C-H stretching and the amide II bands with increasing temperature or increasing DMSO concentration indicate a removal of water molecules from the alkyl and N-H groups. Raman microscopic measurements showed that DMSO is excluded from the polymer-rich phases upon both LCST and UCST phase separation. On the basis of the experimental results and the quantum chemical calculations, a model that explains the solvation change of the polymer during phase transitions was proposed.     

Studies on silver(I) solvation in binary solvent mixtures containing dimethylsulfoxide. IV determination of solvent transference numbers for AgSCN and ionic coordination numbers of Ag+ in methanol-dimethylsulfoxide mixtures at 25°C

Solvent transport by AgSCN in the methanol (M)+dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) system has been studied at 25°C by e.m.f. measurements. The solvent transference number of DMSO is positive as its concentration increases in the cathode compartment during electrolysis. The solubility of AgSCN has been determined in methanol, in DMSO and in methanol-DMSO mixtures. Using the known Gibbs free energy of solvation for the Ag⁺ ion, the corresponding energy for SCN, was found to be independent of the mole fraction. The experimental solvent transference numbers therefore only represent the contribution of Ag⁺, this is because it is preferentially solvated by DMSO. A coordination model has been applied to the Gibbs free energy of transfer of Ag⁺ in order to obtain coordination numbers thereby allowing calculation of solvent transference numbers. The experimental and the calculated solvent transference numbers are in good agreement at mole fractions of DMSO greater than 0.5. In highly methanolic solutions the assumption that the solvation of Ag⁺ in the solvent system studied is adequately represented by a total coordination number of four, proves to be too simple.     

Molecular dynamics study of the solvation of an alpha-helical transmembrane peptide by DMSO

A 10-ns molecular dynamics study of the solvation of a hydrophobic transmembrane helical peptide in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is presented. The objective is to analyze how this aprotic polar solvent is able to solvate three groups of amino acid residues (i.e., polar, apolar, and charged) that are located in a stable helical region of a transmembrane peptide. The 25-residue peptide (sMTM7) used mimics the cytoplasmic proton hemichannel domain of the seventh transmembrane segment (TM7) from subunit a of H(+)-V-ATPase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The three-dimensional structure of peptide sMTM7 in DMSO has been previously solved by NMR spectroscopy. The radial and spatial distributions of the DMSO molecules surrounding the peptide as well as the number of hydrogen bonds between DMSO and the side chains of the amino acid residues involved are extracted from the molecular dynamics simulations. Analysis of the molecular dynamics trajectories shows that the amino acid side chains are fully embedded in DMSO. Polar and positively charged amino acid side chains have dipole-dipole interactions with the oxygen atom of DMSO and form hydrogen bonds. Apolar residues become solvated by DMSO through the formation of a hydrophobic pocket in which the methyl groups of DMSO are pointing toward the hydrophobic side chains of the residues involved. The dual solvation properties of DMSO cause it to be a good membrane-mimicking solvent for transmembrane peptides that do not unfold due to the presence of DMSO.
