New angle‐dependent potential energy function for backbone–backbone hydrogen bond in protein–protein interactions

Backbone–backbone hydrogen bonds (BBHBs) are one of the most abundant interactions at the interface of protein–protein complex. Here, we propose an angle‐dependent potential energy function for BBHB based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations and the operation of a genetic algorithm to find the optimal parameters in the potential energy function. The angular part of the energy funtion is assumed to be the product of the power series of sine and cosine functions with respect to the two angles associated with BBHB. Two radial functions are taken into account in this study: Morse and Leonard‐Jones 12‐10 potential functions. Of these two functions under consideration, the former is found to be more accurate than the latter in terms of predicting the binding energies obtained from DFT calculations. The new HB potential function also compares well with the knowledge‐based potential derived by applying Boltzmann statistics for a variety of protein–protein complexes in protein data bank. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Time‐dependent density functional theory study on the hydrogen bonding‐induced twisted intramolecular charge‐transfer excited states of 2‐(4′‐N,N‐dimethylaminophenyl)imidazo[4,5‐b]pyridine

In this work, the time‐dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method was carried out to investigate the hydrogen‐bonded intramolecular charge‐transfer excited state of 2‐(4′‐N,N‐dimethylaminophenyl)imidazo[4,5‐b]pyridine (DMAPIP) in methanol (MeOH) solvent. All the geometric conformations of the ground state and locally excited (LE) state and the twisted intramolecular charge‐transfer (TICT) state for isolated DMAPIP and its hydrogen‐bonded complexes have been optimized. At the same time, the absorption and fluorescence spectra of DMAPIP and the hydrogen‐bonded complexes in different electronic states are also calculated. We theoretically demonstrated for the first time that the intermolecular hydrogen bond formed between DMAPIP and MeOH can induce the formation of the TICT state for DMAPIP in MeOH solvent. Therefore, the two components at 414 and 506 nm observed in the fluorescence spectra of DMAPIP in MeOH solvent were reassigned in this work. The fluorescence peak at 414 nm is confirmed to be the LE state. Furthermore, the red‐shifted shoulder at 506 nm should be originated from the hydrogen‐bonded TICT excited state. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2010     

A scheme for rapid prediction of cooperativity in hydrogen bond chains of formamides,acetamides, and N‐methylformamides

A scheme is proposed in this article to predict the cooperativity in hydrogen bond chains of formamides, acetamides, and N‐methylformamides. The parameters needed in the scheme are derived from fitting to the hydrogen bonding energies of MP2/6‐31+G** with basis set superposition error (BSSE) correction of the hydrogen bond chains of formamides containing from two to eight monomeric units. The scheme is then used to calculate the individual hydrogen bonding energies in the chains of formamides containing 9 and 12 monomeric units, in the chains of acetamides containing from two to seven monomeric units, in the chains of N‐methylformamides containing from two to seven monomeric units. The calculation results show that the cooperativity predicted by the scheme proposed in this paper is in good agreement with those obtained from MP2/6‐31+G** calculations by including the BSSE correction, demonstrating that the scheme proposed in this article is reasonable. Based on our scheme, a cooperativity effect of almost 240% of the dimer hydrogen bonding energy in long hydrogen bond formamide chains, a cooperativity effect of almost 190% of the dimer hydrogen bonding energy in long hydrogen bond acetamide chains, and a cooperativity effect of almost 210% of the dimer hydrogen bonding energy in long hydrogen bond N‐methylformamide chains are predicted. The scheme is further applied to some heterogeneous chains containing formamide, acetamide, and N‐methylformamide. The individual hydrogen bonding energies in these heterogeneous chains predicted by our scheme are also in good agreement with those obtained from Møller‐Plesset calculations including BSSE correction. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Amino Acid Based Low‐Molecular‐Weight Ionogels as Efficient Dye‐Adsorbing Agents and Templates for the Synthesis of TiO2 Nanoparticles

The gelation of ionic liquids is attracting significant attention because of its large spectrum of applications across different disciplines. These ‘green solvents’ have been the solution to a number of common problems due to their eco‐friendly features. To expand their applications, the gelation of ionic liquids has been achieved by using amino acid‐based low‐molecular‐weight compounds. Variation of individual segments in the molecular skeleton of the gelators, which comprise the amino acid and the protecting groups at the N and C termini, led to an understanding of the structure–property correlation of the ionogelation process. An aromatic ring containing amino acid‐based molecules protected with a phenyl or cyclohexyl group at the N terminus were efficient in the gelation of ionic liquids. In the case of aliphatic amino acids, gelation was more prominent with a phenyl group as the N‐terminal protecting agent. The probable factors responsible for this supramolecular association of the gelators in ionic liquids have been studied with the help of field‐emission SEM, ¹H NMR, FTIR, and luminescence studies. It is the hydrophilic–lipophilic balance that needs to be optimized for a molecule to induce gelation of the green solvents. Interestingly, to maximize the benefits from using these green solvents, these ionogels have been employed as templates for the synthesis of uniform‐sized TiO₂ nanoparticles (25–30 nm). Furthermore, as a complement to their applications, ionogels serve as efficient adsorbents of both cationic and anionic dyes and were distinctly better relative to their organogel counterparts.
