Universality of vibrational spectra of globular proteins

Universality of vibrational spectra of globular proteins.

It is shown that the density of modes of the vibrational spectrum of globular proteins is universal, i.e. regardless of the protein in question, it closely follows one universal curve. The present study, including 135 proteins analyzed with a full atomic empirical potential (CHARMM22) and using the full complement of all atoms Cartesian degrees of freedom, goes far beyond previous claims of uni...

Theoretical Studies of the Vibrational Spectra and Molecular Structures of Dosulepin and Doxepin

Dosulepin and doxepin are tricyclic antidepressants. The molecular geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, quantum chemical parameters and thermodynamic properties of dosulepin and doxepin were calculated by Generalized Gradient Approximation methods developed by Perdew and Wang (GGA-PW91) and Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr (GGA-BLYP) in the gas phase and solution media. The local reactivity of thes...

AB Initio Study of Molecular Struture, Energetic and Vibrational Spectra of (GaN)4 Nanosemiconductor

In recent years there has been considerable interest in the structures, energies and thermodynamics of(GaN)4 clusters and it is the subject of many experimental and theoretical studies because of theirfundamental importance in chemical and physical process. All calculation of this study is carried outby Gaussian 98. Geometry optimization for (GaN)4 nanocluster are be fulfilled at B3LYP, B1LYPan...

Simulations of Protein Vibrational Spectra

Vibrational spectra in glasses

The findings of X-ray and neutron scattering experiments on amorphous systems are interpreted within the framework of the theory of Euclidean random matrices. This allows to take into account the topological nature of the disorder, a key ingredient which strongly affects the vibrational spectra of those systems. We present a resummation scheme for a perturbative expansion in the inverse particl...
