Conformational analysis of inulobiose by molecular mechanics.
Conformational energies for inulobiose [beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2----1)-beta-D-fructofuranoside], a model for inulin, were computed with the molecular mechanics program MMP2(85). The torsion angles of the three linkage bonds were driven in 20 degree increments, and the steric energy of all other parameters was minimized. The linkage torsion angles defined by C-1'-C-2'-O-C-1 (phi) and O-C-1-C-2-...
متن کاملMolecular mechanics investigation on conformational flexibility of 14 beta steroids in drug-receptor interactions.
The interaction between two 14 beta steroids being still unsynthesized and a model receptor binding site is theoretically studied by a molecular mechanics scheme. Both compounds containing seven-membered rings in the 17 beta position are found to form stable hydrogen bonds to the receptor and can be attributed to be potential inhibitors of the Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Substantial steroid conform...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics and Quantum Mechanics of RNA: Conformational and Chemical Change We Can Believe In
Structure and dynamics are both critical to RNA's vital functions in biology. Numerous techniques can elucidate the structural dynamics of RNA, but computational approaches based on experimental data arguably hold the promise of providing the most detail. In this Account, we highlight areas wherein molecular dynamics (MD) and quantum mechanical (QM) techniques are applied to RNA, particularly i...
متن کاملLinkage-specific conformational ensembles of non-canonical polyubiquitin chains.
Polyubiquitination is a critical protein post-translational modification involved in a variety of processes in eukaryotic cells. The molecular basis for selective recognition of the polyubiquitin signals by cellular receptors is determined by the conformations polyubiquitin chains adopt; this has been demonstrated for K48- and K63-linked chains. Recent studies of the so-called non-canonical cha...
متن کاملConformational analysis of gossypol and its derivatives by molecular mechanics
Conformations and inversion pathways leading to racemization of all the tautomers of gossypol, gossypolone, anhydrogossypol, and a diethylamine Schiff 's base of gossypol were investigated with MM3(2000). All forms have hindered rotation because of clashes between the methyl carbon atom and oxygen-containing moieties ortho to the bond linking the two naphthalene rings. Inversion energies genera...
