the structural and energetic characteristics of o3–h2o complexes have been investigated by means of b3lyp, mp2, mp4(sdtq), ccsd(t) and qcisd(t) methods in conjunction with the aug-cc-pvdz and aug-cc-pvtz basis sets. six conformers were found for the o3–h2o complex. two different intermolecular interactions were expected to participate in the formation of complexes, namely conventional o∙∙∙h hyd...

We investigate the addition of stiffness to the lattice model of hydrogen-bonded polymers in two and three dimensions. We find that, in contrast to polymers that interact via a homogeneous short-range interaction, the collapse transition is unchanged by any amount of stiffness: this supports the physical argument that hydrogen bonding already introduces an effective stiffness. Contrary to possi...

The character of the intermolecular interactions in Cl2-HX (X =F, Cl and Br) complexes has been investigated by means of the second-order Möller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) and the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results show that there are two types of lowest interaction potential equilibrium structures in the interactions between Cl2 and HX: X∙∙∙Cl type geometry and hy...

The bonding interaction between non-hydrogen-bonded (NHB) hydrogen atoms and the non-nuclear attractor (NNA) observed in cavity-bound anionic water clusters has been investigated using ab initio methods. The clusters range in size from four to ten water molecules and generally consist of several water molecules hydrogen-bonded in a ring, with two of these rings stacked such that the NHB hydroge...

The structural and energetic characteristics of O3–H2O complexes have been investigated by means of B3LYP, MP2, MP4(SDTQ), CCSD(T) and QCISD(T) methods in conjunction with the AUG-cc-pVDZ and AUG-cc-pVTZ basis sets. Six conformers were found for the O3–H2O complex. Two different intermolecular interactions were expected to participate in the formation of complexes, namely conventional O∙∙∙H hyd...

We analysed the length distributions of different types of beta-strand in a high resolution, non-homologous set of 500 protein structures, finding differences in their mean lengths. Antiparallel edge strands in strand-turn-strand motifs show a preference for an even number of residues. This propensity is enhanced if the length is corrected for beta-bulges, which insert an extra residue into the...
