Research of hydrogen bonding between shikonin and thymine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Density function M06 method has been used to optimize the geometries of shikonin -thymine at 6-311++G** basis. Finally, fourteen stabilized complexes have been obtained. Theories of atoms in molecules (AIM) and natural bond orbital (NBO) have been utilized to investigate the hydrogen bonds involved in all the systems. The interaction energies of all the complexes were corrected by basis set superposition error (BSSE). By the analysis interaction energy, charge density and second-order interaction energies E(2) of the complexes, it is found that complex 2 is the most stable structure.

متن کاملThymine methyls and DNA-protein interactions.
Evidence is summarized showing that thymine methyls are as important in the recognition of specific sequences by proteins as are the more widely recognized hydrogen bonding sites of bases in the major groove (1). Strongest evidence has come from experiments using functional group mutagenesis (2) in which thymines in a specific recognition sequence (e.g., promoters, operators and restriction sit...
متن کاملStimuli responsive surfaces through recognition-mediated polymer modification.
Specific three-point hydrogen bonding between diamidopyridine (DAP) and thymine (Thy) was employed to reversibly anchor "brush-like" Tri-DAP end-functionalized polystyrene onto Thy-modified silica surfaces.
متن کاملSide-Chain Supramolecular Polymers Employing Conformer Independent Triple Hydrogen Bonding Arrays
Derivatives of thymine have been extensively used to promote supramolecular materials assembly. Such derivatives can be synthetically challenging to access and may be susceptible to degradation. The current article uses a conformer-independent acceptor-donor-acceptor array (ureidopyrimidine) which forms moderate affinity interactions with diamidopyridine derivatives to effect supramolecular ble...
متن کاملElectrochemical and theoretical analysis of the reactivity of shikonin derivatives: dissociative electron transfer in esterified compounds.
An electrochemical and theoretical analysis of a series of shikonin derivatives in aprotic media is presented. Results showed that the first electrochemical reduction signal is a reversible monoelectronic transfer, generating a stable semiquinone intermediate; the corresponding E(I)⁰ values were correlated with calculated values of electroaccepting power (ω(+)) and adiabatic electron affinities...
