Vibrational dynamics of zero-field-splitting hamiltonian in gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents from ab initio molecular dynamics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electronic relaxation of gadolinium complexes used as MRI contrast agents was studied theoretically by following the short time evolution of zero-field-splitting parameters. The statistical analysis of ab initio molecular dynamics trajectories provided a clear separation between static and transient contributions to the zero-field-splitting. For the latter, the correlation time was estimated at approximately 0.1 ps. The influence of the ligand was also probed by replacing one pendant arm of our reference macrocyclic complex by a bulkier phosphonate arm. In contrast to the transient contribution, the static zero-field-splitting was significantly influenced by this substitution.

Hyperfine coupling tensors of the water molecule coordinated to the Prohance contrast agent in liquid water were calculated within and beyond the point dipole approximation along an ab initio molecular dynamics trajectory. We observe the non-equivalence at short time scales on structural as well as magnetodynamical properties of inner sphere water protons due to hydrogen bonds formation with th...

متن کاملErratum - An ab initio force field for the cofactors of bacterial photosynthesis
This article presents a new ab initio force field for the cofactors of bacterial photosynthesis, namely quinones and bacteriochlorophylls. The parameters has been designed to be suitable for molecular dynamics simulations of photosynthetic proteins by being compatible with the AMBER force field. To our knowledge, this is the first force field for photosynthetic cofactors based on a reliable set...
