Protein Apparent Dielectric Constant and Its Temperature Dependence from Remote Chemical Shift Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
A NMR protocol is introduced that permits accurate measurement of minute, remote chemical shift perturbations (CSPs), caused by a mutation-induced change in the electric field. Using protein GB3 as a model system, (1)H(N) CSPs in K19A and K19E mutants can be fitted to small changes in the electric field at distal sites in the protein using the Buckingham equation, yielding an apparent dielectric constant εa of 8.6 ± 0.8 at 298 K. These CSPs, and their derived εa value, scale strongly with temperature. For example, CSPs at 313 K are about ∼30% smaller than those at 278 K, corresponding to an effective εa value of about 7.3 at 278 K and 10.5 at 313 K. Molecular dynamics simulations in explicit solvent indicate that solvent water makes a significant contribution to εa.

217 Abstract—As silicon devices shrink and their density increases, the low dielectric constant materials instead of SiO 2 film is required. SiOC film as low-k films was deposited by the capacitively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition and then annealed at 300~500 ℃ to find out the properties of the dependence on the temperature and polarity. This study researched the dielectric constant u...

In this work we use molecular dynamics simulations to study the diffusion of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and H2O as a function of temperature within the well-known metal-organic framework Co2(dobdc)·[G] (G = 2DMF·1H2O), also known as Co-MOF-74. The molecular dynamics simulations show that the diffusivity of guest molecules, which is almost negligible at low temperatures (T < 200 K), increases i...
