Abstract: | Interactions of group 12 metal(II) species (Hg2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, Hg(H2O) n 2+ , Cd(H2O) n 2+ , and Zn(H2O) n 2+ (n?=?1, 2) with neutral (RSH), deprotonated (RS?), and doubly deprotonated cysteine species (abbreviated as ??H2cys??, ??Hcys???, and ??cys2???, respectively) are examined with the Becke three-parameter Lee?CYang?CParr (B3LYP) hybrid functional after preliminary screening in a conformation analysis with the Parameterized Model number 3 (PM3) semiempirical method. Effects of water on aqueous solution are evaluated by microsolvation and polarized continuum model (PCM) approaches. In the most stable conformations of M(H2cys)2+ and M(Hcys)+ complexes (M?=?Hg2+, Cd2+, and Zn2+), the SH group of the cysteine moiety is already deprotonated and undergoes strong binding with the metal ion. Among Hg(H2cys)2+ complexes, cysteine complexes of Hg2+ without deprotonation of the SH group and mercury(II) carboxylato-type structures are at least 83 and 117?kJ/mol less stable in energy than the most stable complex (B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)-SDD+d+f//B3LYP/6-31G(d)-SDD+d). Although Zn2+ binds more strongly than Hg2+ to a H2cys molecule at the high-level CCSD(T)/6-311++G(d,p)-SDD+d+f//B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)-SDD+d+f level, Hg(H2O)2]2+ is stronger than Zn(H2O)2]2+ because the deformation of Zn(H2O)2]2+ required to bind to cys is much more than in Hg(H2O)2]2+. Complexes with a deprotonated cysteine, M(Hcys)+ and M(cys), prefer a multidentate structure. |
