Evidences for Cooperative Resonance-Assisted Hydrogen Bonds in Protein Secondary Structure Analogs
Cooperative behaviors of the hydrogen bonding networks in proteins have been discovered for a long time. The structural origin of this cooperativity, however, is still under debate. Here we report a new investigation combining excess infrared spectroscopy and density functional theory calculation on peptide analogs, represented by N-methylformamide (NMF) and N-methylacetamide (NMA). Interesting...
متن کاملComparison of Resonance Assisted and Charge Assisted Effects in Strengthening of Hydrogen Bonds in Dipyrrins
This paper deals with the study of two types of hydrogen bonding: a quasi-aromatic hydrogen bonding in dipyrromethene and the ionic one in dipyrromethane. The study focuses on two phenomena-the proton transfer process and tautomeric equilibrium. Metric parameters and spectroscopic assignments have been calculated; this allowed a further comparison of spectral features calculated with four metho...
متن کاملResonance-assisted stabilisation of hydrogen bonds probed by NMR spectroscopy and path integral molecular dynamics.
Path integral molecular dynamics and experimental NMR data are used to investigate resonance-assisted hydrogen bonds (RAHBs). When nuclear delocalisation is included in chemical shift calculations, the agreement with experiment is excellent, while static calculations show very poor performance. The results support the concept of RAHB, which has recently been questioned.
متن کاملTreatment of Hydrogen Bonds in Protein Simulations
The hydrogen bond plays an essential role in maintaining the secondary structures of protein, and an accurate description of hydrogen bond interaction is critical in protein folding simulation. Modern classical force fields treat hydrogen bonding as nonbond‐ ed interaction, which is dominated by electrostatic interaction. However, in the widely used nonpolarizable force fields, atomic charges a...
متن کاملTelomere structure and stability: covalency in hydrogen bonds, not resonance assistance, causes cooperativity in guanine quartets.
We show that the cooperative reinforcement between hydrogen bonds in guanine quartets is not caused by resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding (RAHB). This follows from extensive computational analyses of guanine quartets (G(4)) and xanthine quartets (X(4)) based on dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D). Our investigations cover the situation of quartets in the gas phase, in aqueou...
