Investigations of Random Molecular Motions by NMR
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this contribution is to demonstrate that NMR spin relaxation is an efficient method for the investigation of random molecular motions. Information on random motion is important for the characterization of liquids, polymers, and biological samples. Random motions are time-dependent phenomena and have to be treated with timedependent statistical mechanics. On the other hand, spin relaxation is also time-dependent and its irreversible character has some analogy in the mechanism of random motions.

In the present work, the quantum theoretical calculations of the molecular structure of the compound 2-(Cyclohexylamino)-2-oxo-1-(quinolin-4-yl)ethyl 4-Chlorobenzoate have been predicted using Density Functional Theory (DFT) in the gas phase. The geometry of the title structure was optimized by B3LYP/6-31+G* and HF/6-31+G* levels of theory. The theoretical 1H and 13C NMR chemical shift values o...

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...
متن کاملModeling correlated main-chain motions in proteins for flexible molecular recognition.
We describe a new method for modeling protein and ligand main-chain flexibility, and show its ability to model flexible molecular recognition. The goal is to sample the full conformational space, including large-scale motions that typically cannot be reached in molecular dynamics simulations due to the computational intensity, as well as conformations that have not been observed yet by crystall...
متن کاملLocal Isotropic Diffusion Approximation for Coupled Internal and Overall Molecular Motions in NMR Spin Relaxation
The present work demonstrates that NMR spin relaxation rate constants for molecules interconverting between states with different diffusion tensors can be modeled theoretically by combining orientational correlation functions for exchanging spherical molecules with locally isotropic approximations for the diffusion anisotropic tensors. The resulting expressions are validated by comparison with ...
متن کاملSpectral Densities of Motion in Liquid Crystals by Deuterium NMR Relaxation Study
In this paper we discuss some recent advances in rnolecular dynamics of liquid crystals by means of NMR relaxation studies [1,2]. In particular, pulsed NMR techniques using a deuteron probe enable separation of spectral densities of motion [3-8] in liquid crystals. These spectral densities contain information on the frequency spectra of fluctuations from motions such as director fluctuations, m...
