Myths in Modern Science: The Hydrogen Bond and its Surroundings. Part 1. The Hydrogen-Bond-Myth
نویسنده
چکیده
Widespread arguments of the hydrogen bond are criticized with respect to theories of protein folding and interactions of proteins with their specific ligands. Contrary to popular belief, by no means does the hydrogen bond play an important role in determining the conformation of proteins and the interactions of proteins with specific substrates. Stereotypical thinking on the hydrogen bond constitutes a myth in modern science and seriously restricts the success of structure-based drug design.

Anion˗π and Intramolecular Hydrogen Bond Interactions in the Various Complexes of 1,3,5-Triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene with H-, F-, Cl- and Br- Anions
The quantum chemical calculations were performed to investigate the interplay between the anion˗π and intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB) interactions in the various complexes of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (ANB) with Hˉ, Fˉ, Clˉ and Brˉ anions. For better understanding the cooperative effects, the parent molecules (ANB) and the corresponding complexes of 1,3,5˗trinitrobenzene with the...

The potential function of Lippincott and Schroeder for linear hydrogen bond has been re-examined and extended to nonlinear hydrogen bond. The parameters originally introduced to the potential function by Lippincott and Schroeder have been determined from the structural parameters such as 0.. .Odistance 0-H bond distance, H.. .O distance and HOO angle. Thevalidity of harmonic oscillator appr...

The one-dimensional model of Lippincott and Schroeder for hydrogen bond has Been re-examined and it has been shown that O-H bond distance depends on repulsive van der Waals and attractive electrostatic potentials.it has been shown that constant b in the van der Waals repulsion potential is not transferable to all hydrogen bonds. The possibility of obtaining the semi-empircal parameters i...
متن کاملTheoretical Study of Heteroatom Resonance-Assisted Hydrogen Bond: Effect of Substituent on π-delocalization
The concept of Resonance Assisted Hydrogen Bond (RAHB), which usually occurs in b diketons, has a remarkable role in chemistry. These molecules, which contain heteroatom particularly O and N, are species with biological interest in protein folding and DNA pairing. Therefore, the amplification of hydrogen bonds strength by substituents may be important in life scie...

The NMR spectra of azo dyes, 5-arylazobarbituric (5a-g), 5-arylazo-1,3-dimethylbarbituric(6a-g) and 5-arylazothiobarbituric acids (7a-g) were studied in DMSO-d6 in differentconcentrations. An intramolecular hydrogen bond was observed and indicating that thehydrazone forms is mostly predominant. The peak of the hydrazone proton was severelybroadened and its chemical shift appeared at down field ...
