Solvent interactions stabilising nucleic acid conformers.
The transition of oligonucleotides from the B to the A conformation has been studied by the use of simple geometric calculations aimed at finding possible hydration sites which could stabilize these conformations. The method involves the classification of equally spaced grid points, surrounding the oligonucleotide, into groups depending on whether a water molecule, so placed, could form single,...
متن کاملStructural and solvent dependence of superexciplex.
In this paper, we show that a few coumarin dye solutions exhibit dual amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) spectra under pulsed laser excitation, though all these solutions exhibit only one fluorescence band under steady-state conditions. The anomalous band, appearing only in ASE spectra, had been attributed to the superexciplex--a new molecular species. This is made of two excited molecules an...
متن کاملThe Solvent Dependence of Enzymatic Selectivity
The exacting selectivity of enzymatic catalysis is the most valuable characteristic of enzymes to the synthetic chemist. Ironically, this strict specificity also limits the generality of enzymatic synthesis, because enzymes that catalyze the reaction of interest with the desired selectivity are not always available. Nonaqueous enzymology, and the discovery that enzymatic selectivity can be chan...
متن کاملProtomers of benzocaine: solvent and permittivity dependence.
The immediate environment of a molecule can have a profound influence on its properties. Benzocaine, the ethyl ester of para-aminobenzoic acid that finds an application as a local anesthetic, is found to adopt in its protonated form at least two populations of distinct structures in the gas phase, and their relative intensities strongly depend on the properties of the solvent used in the electr...
متن کاملSolvent viscosity dependence for enzymatic reactions
A mechanism for relationship of solvent viscosity with reaction rate constant at enzyme action is suggested. It is based on fluctuations of electric field in enzyme active site produced by thermally equilibrium rocking (cranckshaft motion) of the rigid plane (in which the dipole moment ≈ 3.6 D lies) of a favourably located and oriented peptide group (or may be a few of them). Thus the rocking o...
