A theoretical study on the electronic structure of PYP chromophore in low barrier hydrogen bonding model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Yamaguchi et al. have recently identified positions of hydrogen and deuterium atoms in photoactive yellow protein (PYP) using high-resolution neutron scattering. They reported that the hydrogen bond between the PYP chromophore and Glu46 was not a short ionic hydrogen bond (SIHB) but a low barrier hydrogen bond (LBHB). Furthermore, it was suggested that Arg52 close to the chromophore was deprotonated. In the present study, we investigate the electronic structure of the chromophore in PYP under the condition of protonated or deprotonated Arg52. By analyzing the potential energy curve along the proton migration between Glu46 and the chromophore, we find that a LBHB can be seen only when Arg52 is deprotonated.

Vibrational analysis on the revised potential energy curve of the low-barrier hydrogen bond in photoactive yellow protein
Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) has a characteristic hydrogen bond (H bond) between p-coumaric acid chromophore and Glu46, whose OH bond length has been observed to be 1.21 Å by the neutron diffraction technique [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 106, 440-4]. Although it has been expected that such a drastic elongation of the OH bond could be caused by the quantum effect of the hydrogen nucleus, previous...
متن کاملHydrogen bond dynamics in the active site of photoactive yellow protein.
Hydrogen bonds play major roles in biological structure and function. Nonetheless, hydrogen-bonded protons are not typically observed by X-ray crystallography, and most structural studies provide limited insight into the conformational plasticity of individual hydrogen bonds or the dynamical coupling present within hydrogen bond networks. We report the NMR detection of the hydrogen-bonded proto...

Electronic structure calculations of microhydrated model chromophores (in their deprotonated anionic forms) of the photoactive yellow and green fluorescent proteins (PYP and GFP) are reported. Electron-detachment and excitation energies as well as binding energies of mono- and dihydrated isomers are computed and analyzed. Microhydration has different effects on the excited and ionized states. I...

The N-(2-benzoyl-phenyl) oxalyl derivatives are important models for studying of three-centered intramolecular hydrogen bonding in organic molecules. The quantum theoretical calculations for two crystal structures of N-(2-benzoyl-phenyl) oxalyl (compounds I and II) were performed by Density Functional Theory (B3LYP method and 6-311+G* basis set). From the optimized structures, geometric paramet...
