Time Correlation Functions for Internal and Anisotropic Rotational Motion of Molecules
نویسندگان
چکیده
By use of Green 's functions f o r the diffusional motion a very concise formulation and computation of correlation functions is possible. For an axially symmetric overall diffusion with internal rotation about one and two axes correlation functions of a second rank spherical tensor are calculated. The results comprise all the solutions of the pertinent problem as given so far and allow the extension of the theory to a wider field of application.

Characterization of the overall and internal dynamics of short oligonucleotides by depolarized dynamic light scattering and NMR relaxation measurements.
The dynamics of three synthetic oligonucleotides d(CG)4, d(CG)6, and d(CGCGTTGTTCGCG) of different length and shape were studied in solution by depolarized dynamic light scattering (DDLS) and time-resolved nuclear Overhauser effect cross-relaxation measurements. For cylindrically symmetric molecules the DDLS spectrum is dominated by the rotation of the main symmetry axis of the cylinder. The ex...
متن کاملThe molecular rotational motion of liquid ethanol studied by ultrafast time resolved infrared spectroscopy.
In this report, ultrafast time-resolved infrared spectroscopy is used to study the rotational motion of the liquid ethanol molecule. The results showed that the methyl, methylene, and CO groups have close rotational relaxation times, 1-2 ps, and the rotational relaxation time of the hydroxyl group (-OH) is 8.1 ps. The fast motion of the methyl, methylene and CO groups, and the slow motion of th...
متن کاملVibrational bandshape analysis and inertial-stochastic molecular motion in anisotropic ordered fluids
We generalize the extended J-diffusion model to molecular reorientational dynamics in uniaxially aligned fluids such as nematics. In particular we calculate correlation functions valid for both the inertial and stochastic regimes of the motion. Such functions are then used to fit correlation functions determined experimentally from Infrared and Raman bandshape analysis. We determined thus the p...
متن کاملLocal Isotropic Diffusion Approximation for Coupled Internal and Overall Molecular Motions in NMR Spin Relaxation
The present work demonstrates that NMR spin relaxation rate constants for molecules interconverting between states with different diffusion tensors can be modeled theoretically by combining orientational correlation functions for exchanging spherical molecules with locally isotropic approximations for the diffusion anisotropic tensors. The resulting expressions are validated by comparison with ...
متن کاملA dynamic rotational isomeric state approach for extension of the time scale of the local dynamics observed in fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations: Application to polybutadiene
The dynamic rotational isomeric state ~DRIS! formalism has been utilized to predict the local dynamics of amorphous cisand trans-polybutadiene at bulk density from short-time molecular dynamics ~MD! simulations at 425 K. The rates for transitions between rotational isomeric states have been calculated from the initial slopes of time-delayed transition ~conditional! probability curves extracted ...
