MO calculations of some thymine radicals at the INDO level.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The results of MO INDO calculations of some thymine radicals are presented. These include as well as the hydrogen addition radicals the hydroxyl addition radicals to C5 and to C6 of the C5=C6 double bond of the thymine molecule. The radicals resulting from hydrogen abstraction from the methyl group and from the nitrogen N1 are also studied. Except for radicals where the main spin density is localized on nitrogen atoms, the agreement between experimental and theoretical couplings is satisfactory.

Hyperfine Coupling Constants
The IH hyperfine coupling constants of free radicals and ions have been successfully studied by our newly modified s-p· separation type INDO-MO method->, and the most of our calculated coupling constants are significantly better than the corresponding results of the conventional INDO-MO method."" The nuclear hyperfine coupling constant is assumed to be directly proportional to the 2s spin densi...
متن کاملPhotoselected electron transfer pathways in DNA photolyase.
Cyclobutane dimer photolyases are proteins that bind to UV-damaged DNA containing cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer lesions. They repair these lesions by photo-induced electron transfer. The electron donor cofactor of a photolyase is a two-electron-reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH(-)). When FADH(-) is photo-excited, it transfers an electron from an excited pi --> pi* singlet state to the py...
متن کاملFlavin Charge Transfer Transitions Assist DNA Photolyase Electron Transfer.
This contribution describes molecular dynamics, semi-empirical and ab-initio studies of the primary photo-induced electron transfer reaction in DNA photolyase. DNA photolyases are FADH(-)-containing proteins that repair UV-damaged DNA by photo-induced electron transfer. A DNA photolyase recognizes and binds to cyclobutatne pyrimidine dimer lesions of DNA. The protein repairs a bound lesion by t...
متن کاملAb initio study & Density functional investigational of Adenine & Thymine; Comparison of primitive Gaussian and NBO calculation
We have performed quantum-chemical ab initio in various basis sets at the Hartree-Fock andB3LYP levels for Adenine and Thymine with the program GAUSSIAN98. The Dipole,Quadrupole, Octapole and Hexadecapole moments and primitive in nine basis sets for thesemolecules are presented. The most stabilized forms of these molecules are observed in 6-311++G** basis set. We have evaluated coefficient hybr...

Ab initio calculations at HF/6-31G* level of theory for geometry optimization and MP2/6-31G*//HF/6-31G*for total energy calculation are reported for Z-cyclooctene (1). The most favorable conformation of 1 is theunsymmetric boat-chair (1-BC) geometry. Potential energy profiles for two different boat-chair/boat-chairinterconversion processes were calculated. The process via a chair transition sta...
