SOLVENT EFFECTS AND CHEMICAL REACTIVITY Understanding Chemical Reactivity
This chapter reviews the theoretical background for continuum models of solvation, recent advances in their implementation, and illustrative examples of their use. Continuum models are the most efficient way to include condensed-phase effects into quantum mechanical calculations, and this is typically accomplished by the using self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) approach for the electrostatic...
متن کاملHydrophobic interactions: an overview
We present an overview of the recent progress that has been made in understanding the origin of hydrophobic interactions. We discuss the different character of the solvation behaviour of apolar solutes at small and large length scales. We emphasize that the crossover in the solvation behaviour arises from a collective effect, which means that implicit solvent models should be used with care. We...
متن کاملInteractive chemical reactivity exploration.
Elucidating chemical reactivity in complex molecular assemblies of a few hundred atoms is, despite the remarkable progress in quantum chemistry, still a major challenge. Black-box search methods to find intermediates and transition-state structures might fail in such situations because of the high-dimensionality of the potential energy surface. Here, we propose the concept of interactive chemic...
متن کاملUrea's action on hydrophobic interactions.
For more than a century, urea has been commonly used as an agent for denaturing proteins. However, the mechanism behind its denaturing power is still not well understood. Here we show by molecular dynamics simulations that a 7 M aqueous urea solution unfolds a chain of purely hydrophobic groups which otherwise adopts a compact structure in pure water. The unfolding process arises due to a weake...
متن کاملImportance of Hydrophobic Motif Interactions
INTRODUCTION The Serum and Glucocorticoid regulated kinases (SGK) are a family of serine/threonine protein kinases that show extensive sequence homology to the Protein Kinase B (PKB/Akt) enzymes. Three isoforms exist in humans: SGK1, SGK2 and SGK3. Like PKB, SGK1 acts downstream of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) (1). PKB requires phosphorylation of its activation loop and of a hydrophobic...
