Probing the electronic structure of peptide bonds using methyl groups.

چکیده
The observed V3 torsional barriers measured by microwave spectroscopy for nine methyl groups attached alpha to peptide bond linkages in five gas-phase biomimetics have been found to differ considerably from one molecule to the next and even depend on the position of substitution, being sensitive to structural changes at the other end of the peptide bond. In the search for an explanation for these results, ab initio calculations have been performed at the HF/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory and interpreted in terms of the natural bond orbitals and resonance structures of the peptide bond. These calculations reveal that resonance delocalization in peptide bonds is influenced by methyl conformation through the coupling of vicinal sigma to sigma* orbital interactions with the n to pi*. Thus, CN double-bond character increases (and CO double-bond character decreases) as the methyl group is rotated from the syn to the anti position. A quasilinear correlation exists between the barriers to internal rotation of attached methyl groups and the relative importance of the two principal resonance structures that contribute to the peptide bond.

Density Functional Studies on Crystal Structure and electronic properties of Potassium Alanate as a candidate for Hydrogen storage
Potassium Alanate is one of the goal candidates for hydrogen storage during past decades. In this report, initially the Density Functional Theory was applied to simulate the electronic and structural characteristic of the experimentally known KAlH4 complex hydride. The relaxation of unit cell parameters and atomic positions was performed until the total residual force reduced less than 0.001ev ...
