abstract

ab initio and dft methods have been used to study the seven tautomeric forms of 5-methylcytosine molecule.the related tautomer in gas phase have been studied at hf/6-31g, hf/6-31g* and b3lyp/6-31g* levels oftheory. the structures,enthalpies,entropies,gibbs free energies,relative tautomerization energies of tautomersand tautomeric equilibrium constants were compared and analyzed along with full geometry optimization. thecalculations showed that the oxo-amino(6), oxo-imino(7) and hydroxy-amino(4) tautomers are the most stablein the gas phase. the results are in a good agreement with the available experimental data. the entropy effecton the gibbs free energy of the 5-methylcytosine bases is very small and it has a little significance on thetautomeric equilibria of pyrimidine bases.therefore the enthalpic term is dominant in the determination of theequilibrium constants. 13c-nmr studies have been carried out for these tautomers and the results arediscussed.we have also evaluated the hybridation coefficient for bonds and hetero atom lps in the aromaticring for the stable tautomers. natural bond orbital theory (nbo) calculation showed that the stable tautomersmust be considered aromatic.

Ab Initio Calculation 29Si NMR Chemical Shift Studies on Silicate Species in Aqueous and Gas Phase

Nowadays NMR spectroscopy becomes a powerful tool in chemistry because of the NMR chemical shifts. Hartree–Fock theory and the Gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) methods are used in the calculation of 29Si NMR chemical shifts of various silicate species in the silicate solution as initial components for zeolite synthesis both in gas and solution phase. Calculations have been performed at geo...

AB INITIO QUANTUM CHEMICAL STUDIES IN CTAB

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACS) are employed both as disinfectants for manual processing lines and surfaces in the food industry, and in human medicine area. QACS also cause cell death by protein denaturation . One of the QAC is cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) that appears to rapture the cell membrane. The primary site of action of CTAB has been suggested to be the lipid components...

An Ab initio and chemical shielding tensors calculations for Nucleotide 5’-Monophosphates in the Gas phase

Structural and magnetic properties of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides (CMP, UMP, dTMP, AMP, GMP, IMP) were studied at different levels of ab initio molecular orbital theory. These calculations were performed at the hartree-fock level and density functional B3LYP methods. Geometries were fully optimized by following Cs symmetry restrictions. The standard 6-31G** basis set which includes polari...

Recent ab initio phase diagram studies: Iridium

The phase diagram of iridium is investigated using the Z methodology in conjunction with the VASP ab initiomolecular dynamics package. The Z methodology is a novel technique for phase diagram studies which combines the direct Z method for the computation of melting curves and the inverse Z method for the calculation of solid-solid phase boundaries. We compare our results to the available experi...

Ab Initio Studies On Phase Behavior of Barium Titanate

Using DFT methods we have studied structure, equation of state, and phase behavior of BaTiO3. We have identified the pressure induced phase transformations from the rhombohedral to orthorhombic structure at ca. 5 GPa and from tetragonal phase to cubic phase at ca. 7.5 GPa. INTRODUCTION BaTiO3 is an important example perovskite structured ceramic displaying ferroelectric property. At high temper...
