特殊缔合体系TFE水溶液分子动力学模拟

三氟乙醇(TFE)水溶液是一类特殊的缔合体系. 采用分子动力学模拟方法结合核磁共振化学位移研究了TFE水溶液体系全浓度范围的氢键网络, 并对动力学模拟结果和核磁共振化学位移进行了比较. 从径向分布函数(RDF)发现, TFE水溶液中存在着强氢键, 而体系中的C—H…O弱相互作用较为明显, 也不能忽略. 氢键网络分析发现TFE 水溶液体系的氢键大致分为以下三个区域: 在水富集区域, 水分子倾向于自身缔合形成稳定的簇结构, 随着TFE 浓度的增加, 水的有序结构受到破坏, 水分子和TFE分子发生交叉缔合作用形成氢键; 在TFE富集区域, 水分子较少, TFE分子自身通过氢键形成多缔体结构. 此外, 分子动力学统计的平均氢键数的变化和文献报导的核磁共振化学位移变化趋势相同, 实验和理论的结果吻合较好.

溶液环境中水对甲酰胺质子迁移影响的密度泛函研究

甲酰胺酮式和烯醇式的互变异构(FM→FA)可被视为DNA中生物碱基点突变的一个模型. 使用B3LYP密度范函的计算方法, 在B3LYP/6-311++G**的基组条件下运用SCRF溶液模型研究了溶液环境对甲酰胺互变异构的影响. 研究表明, 从水分子对甲酰胺异构的作用进行划分, 分子的周围有三个不同的区域, 和气态计算结果一致, 在一些区域中, 水对异构起到了催化的作用; 而在其它区域中, 水分子却能阻碍反应的进行,保护酮式, 同时溶液环境的存在也使两种作用得到了加强和削弱. 溶液状态下的质子转移研究将会对水分子对中心分子的异构化研究提供参考, 同时也部分解释了试验中酮式比例高于烯醇式的现象.     

拉曼光谱法测定冷冻对CuCl2与牛血清白蛋白作用的影响

用CuCl2溶液密度和粘度的变化表征溶液团簇结构的变化,发现CuCl2溶液经冷冻处理后,由于在水的微观结构上形成许多靠氢键结合的小水分子团簇结构,水分子氢键网络的缔合程度变大,溶液密度降低,粘度增大。采用激光显微共聚焦拉曼光谱法对冷冻前后CuCl2溶液与BSA相互作用进行研究,结果表明:Cu2+与BSA作用后,BSA酰胺I带特征峰发生位移,β-折叠构象增加,二硫键构象和酪氨酸外环境发生变化。CuCl2溶液经冷冻-解冻处理后,引起BSA酰胺I带特征峰发生位移的程度和对酪氨酸残基的影响变小,这种相互作用趋弱的效应与水分子团簇结构的变化有关。     

分子动力学方法研究聚甲基乙烯基醚／水体系中氢键和准氢键的结构与分布

用分子动力学方法模拟室温下不同浓度的聚甲基乙烯基醚／水体系的微观溶剂化结构．得到的径向分布函数和氢键给体和受体距离分布表明,聚合物与水形成的氢键比水之间形成的氢键短约0．005nm．准氢键C—H…O的数目是范德华作用对的7．2％．我们发现,在各浓度下,水分子并不能均匀地分布在聚合物结构单元上,即使在很稀的溶液（3．3％,质量分数）中,仍然有10％左右的醚氧没有和水分子形成氢键．这说明在溶液中,不但高分子链间有紧密的接触,而且高分子链内的链段间也有紧密的接触,导致链上的一些醚氧不能和水分子有效地接触而形成氢键．准氢键随浓度的变化和氢键的变化趋势类似,但形成准氢键的结构单元数目与形成氢键的结构单元数目比值在0．2附近．文献上用动态DSC测量低分子量聚甲基乙烯基醚（PVME）水溶液的相转变焓发现,在浓度为30％左右有一转折,与本模拟所得出的在浓度为27％左右氢键和准氢键比例的转折相关,这给相转变焓的转折点提供了分子尺度的微观解释．另外,浓度小于54％的溶液中存在“自由水”,在86％的浓溶液中每个结构单元大约与1．56个水分子缔合．     

盐水溶液中离子与丙氨酸极性基团间的作用对丙氨酸缔合的影响:密度泛函理论与分子动力学模拟

采用密度泛函理论和经典分子动力学模拟研究了盐水溶液中Na⁺、Cu²⁺、Zn²⁺、Cl^-与丙氨酸分子间的相互作用对丙氨酸分子缔合的影响. 密度泛函理论的计算结果显示丙氨酸分子与Na⁺、Cu²⁺、Zn²⁺、Cl^-之间的相互作用可增强其电荷分离. 经典分子动力学模拟结果显示在水溶液中两性离子形式的丙氨酸存在三种缔合结构.盐水溶液中, 阳离子、阴离子与丙氨酸间的相互作用均能一定程度上减弱丙氨酸分子的缔合. 但是阳离子与丙氨酸间的相互作用明显受离子水合作用的影响. 由于Cu²⁺水合作用较强, 虽在气相中Cu²⁺与丙氨酸分子之间相互作用明显比Na⁺强, 但是在水溶液中则情况刚好相反. 在ZnCl₂稀溶液中, Zn²⁺与丙氨酸间的相互作用被其第一水合壳层隔开. 但这种相互作用仍能明显影响丙氨酸分子的缔合, 这与Zn²⁺的水合壳层特征有关. 另外, 离子与丙氨酸之间的相互作用, 不仅会削弱丙氨酸的缔合, 也可导致丙氨酸分子间的缔合结构发生转变. 离子浓度也会影响其与丙氨酸分子间的缔合形式以及丙氨酸的缔合结构.

Salt-induced micellization of a triblock copolymer in aqueous solution: a 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy study

An aqueous micellar solution of a PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymer, pluronic F88 (EO103PO39EO103), in the presence of salt (KCl) has been investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The hydrogen-bonding structure in water is directly changed by the strong polarization effect of added salt, which indirectly weakens the interaction of polymer molecules with water. Both EO and PO blocks are dehydrated by the addition of salt in a similar way, whereas the solubility of the PO blocks may be affected in a more pronounced way, which results in the decrease of the critical micellization temperature (CMT). It is found that the addition of salt favors a more compact micellar core, where the water content is decreased and an effective PO-PO interaction is increased. Increasing the salt concentration would result in a decrease in the number of gauche conformers in the PPO chain, which may be the deeper reason for the decreasing solubility of PPO segments in aqueous salt solution. The temperature region over which the micellization occurs is broad, indicating that micelles and unimers coexist over an extended temperature range, whereas this transition region is significantly narrowed by the addition of salt. The addition of salt offers a good substitute way of changing the temperature to induce micellization. The critical micellization salt concentration (CMSC) is determined to be 1.0 mol l-1 for KCl in 2.5% aqueous pluronic F88 solution at 25 degrees C, and the transition region in which both free and associated copolymer molecules coexist is defined to range from 1 to 2 mol L-1.     

Ethyl 1‐ethyl‐7‐fluoro‐4‐oxo‐1,4‐dihydroquinoline‐3‐carboxylate: X‐ray and DFT studies

The basic building unit in the structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₄FNO₃, is pairs of molecules arranged in an antiparallel fashion, enabling weak C—H...O interactions. Each molecule is additionally involved in π–π interactions with neighbouring molecules. The pairs of molecules formed by the C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions form ribbon‐like chains running along the c axis. Theoretical calculations based on these pairs showed that, although the main intermolecular interaction is electrostatic, it is almost completely compensated by an exchange–repulsion contribution to the total energy. As a consequence, the dominating force is a dispersion interaction. The F atoms form weak C—F...H—C interactions with the H atoms of the neighbouring ethyl groups, with H...F separations in the range 2.59–2.80 Å.     

A molecular-dynamics simulation study of solvent-induced repulsion between C60 fullerenes in water

Molecular-dynamics simulations of a single C(60) fullerene and pairs of C(60) fullerenes in aqueous solution have been performed for the purpose of obtaining improved understanding of the nature of solvent-induced interactions between C(60) fullerenes in water. Our simulations reveal repulsive solvent-induced interactions between two C(60) fullerenes in aqueous solution in contrast to the associative effects observed for conventional nonpolar solutes. A decomposition of the solvent-induced potential of mean force between fullerenes into entropy and energy (enthalpy) contributions reveals that the water-induced repulsion between fullerenes is energetic in origin, contrasting strongly to entropy-driven association observed for conventional nonpolar solutes. The dominance of energy in the solvent-induced interactions between C(60) fullerenes arises primarily from the high atomic density of the C(60) molecule, resulting in strong C(60)-water van der Waals attraction that is reduced upon association of the fullerenes. The water-induced repulsion is found to decrease with increasing temperature due largely to an increasing contribution from a relatively weak entropy-driven association.     

Molecular mechanism of the viscosity of aqueous glucose solutions

Experimental relations are obtained for the viscosity of aqueous glucose solutions in the temperature range of 10–80°C and concentration range 0.01–2.5%. It is found that the concentration dependence of fluidity is linear when the concentration is higher than a certain value and varies at different temperatures. The existence of such a dependence indicates that the mobilities of solvent and solute molecules are independent of the concentration of solutions. This assumption is used to construct a theoretical model, in which the structure of an aqueous glucose solution is presented as a combination of two weakly interacting networks formed by hydrogen bonds between water molecules and between glucose molecules. Theoretical relations are obtained using this model of network solution structure for the concentration and temperature dependence of solution viscosity. Experimental data are used to calculate the activation energies for water (U _w = 3.0 × 10^–20 J) and glucose molecules (U _g = 2.8 × 10^–20 J). It is shown that the viscosity of a solution in such a network structure is governed by the Brownian motion of solitons along the chains of hydrogen bonds. The weak interaction between networks results in the contributions to solution fluidity made by the motion of solitons in both of them being almost independent.     

Non-covalent interactions of coumarin dyes with cucurbit[7]uril macrocycle: modulation of ICT to TICT state conversion

Non-covalent interaction of coumarin laser dyes, namely coumarin-1 (C1), coumarin-481 (C481) and coumarin-6H (C6H), with a versatile macrocyclic host molecule cucurbit[7]uril (CB7), has been investigated in aqueous solution using photophysical methods. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies illustrate significant enhancements/modifications in the fluorescence yields, lifetimes and spectral features of C1, C481 and C6H on interaction with CB7, and are assigned to 1 : 1 complex formation between the dyes and the CB7 host. The complex formation is mainly driven by charge-dipole interaction, as evident from the binding constant values (K ~ 10(4)-10(5) M(-1)). The large changes in the excited state behaviour of C1 and C481 as compared to C6H in the presence of CB7 indicate that CB7 binds C1 and C481 through the encapsulation of the 7-N,N'-diethylamino group of the dyes and the structural rigidity imposed by this interaction dramatically alters the excited state properties of the dyes by preventing the conversion of their emissive intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state to the non-radiative twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state. The present results direct towards the probable supramolecular approach using water soluble macrocyclic CB7, in the development of aqueous dye laser systems in the blue-green region.     

Dielectric spectroscopy in the GHz region on fully hydrated zwitterionic amino acids

The complex dielectric permittivity of eight different amino acids in water solutions was determined in the frequency range from 0.2 to 20 GHz at room temperature, trying to span the whole range of solubility in each case. Two relaxations were observed at room temperature in this frequency range, which can be mainly assigned to the rotation of amino acids in the aqueous environment, and the reorientational motion of water molecules, respectively. Although the amino acids have a charged (zwitterionic) nature with huge dipole moments, the tendency towards dipolar alignment seems to be very weak, over the investigated concentration ranges. For these small bio-molecules, water screens solute-solute interactions and amino acids remain typically as isolated hydrated monomers. The dielectric results were used to estimate the number of water molecules restrained by each solute molecule. Finally, the comparison between the amino acid relaxation times made it possible to discuss the relationship between rotational dynamics and the structure and hydrodynamic coupling of the amino acid studied.     

Cation-anion-water interactions in aqueous mixtures of imidazolium based ionic liquids

We have examined the cation-anion-water interactions in aqueous mixtures of imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) over the whole composition range using FTIR spectroscopy. Changes in the peak positions or band areas of OH vibrational modes of water and CH vibrational modes of imidazolium cation as a function of IL concentration indicated a diminishing trend in hydrogen-bonding network of water and qualitative changes in solution structures. ¹H NMR chemical shifts of C(2)H, HC(4)C(5)H and alkyl chain protons of imidazolium cation provided useful information about the comparative strength of cation-anion-water interactions.     

三种氨基酸从水到DMSO水溶液的迁移焓研究

Interaction of tylophorinidine with lysozyme

The interaction of tylophorinidine (TPD) with lysozyme—a model protein—with biological activity, was investigated by determining its fluorescence and by assessing its activity under various conditions. The results indicated that TPD associated with lysozyme at pH 9.2 efficiently with an association constant K_a of 3.3 X 10⁴ M^–1 at 26°C. K_a increased with the increasing temperature in the range 26 to 55°C; the calculated enthalpy change ΔH was found to be 2.3 kcal/mol. Under the same conditions as above TPD also associated with the free amino acid tryptophan with a K_a of 1.7 X 10⁴ M^–1 indicating half the efficiency of its association with protein lysozyme. TPD associated lysozyme was less active than the uncomplexed enzyme in the above temperature range although beyond 45°C the inhibition was more significant. The results imply that TPD binds lysozyme outside the cleft region in the temperature range studied here. However, with increasing temperature the cleft region is gradually widened and/or the whole molecule is expanded such that the accommodation of whole or part of the TPD molecule is facilitated leading to the blockage of lytic activity.
