Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules

66.0K
Noncovalent attractions are associations within and between molecules that influence the shape and structural stability of complexes. These interactions differ from covalent bonding in that they do not involve sharing of electrons.
Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.
Hydrogen bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a strong-electronegative atom like oxygen,...

Ligand Binding and Linkage

6.0K
Allosteric proteins have more than one ligand binding site; the binding of a ligand to any of these sites influences the binding of ligands to the other sites. When a protein is allosteric, its binding sites are called coupled or linked.  In the case of enzymes, the site that binds to the substrate is known as the active site and the other site is known as the regulatory site. When a ligand binds to the regulatory site, this leads to conformational changes in the protein that can influence...

The coupling interactions of nuclei across four or more bonds are usually weak, with J values less than 1 Hz. While these are usually not observed in spectra, the presence of multiple bonds along the coupling pathway can result in observable long-range coupling.
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Quantum Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) accuracy for noncovalent interactions is limited by issues in low-density regions, density gradient errors, and dispersion double counting.
  • Existing functionals struggle to accurately model weak interactions crucial for many chemical and biological processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new exchange-correlation functional specifically designed to overcome limitations in describing noncovalent interactions.
  • To systematically investigate the impact of pure vs. hybrid exchange and different dispersion models on functional performance.

Main Methods:

  • A novel exchange-correlation functional was constructed using range-separated PBEsol exchange (pure and hybrid variants) and a semilocal correlation functional.
  • Two dispersion correction schemes, DFT-D3 and MBD-rsSCS, were appended to the correlation functional.
  • Four distinct functionals were created by combining these components for comprehensive testing.

Main Results:

  • The new functionals demonstrated outstanding performance across diverse benchmark sets, including water clusters, ionic hydrogen bonds, and n-alkane fragmentation thermochemistry.
  • Systematic analysis revealed the specific contributions of pure/hybrid exchange and dispersion models to the overall accuracy.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed exchange-correlation functional significantly enhances the accuracy of DFT for noncovalent interactions.
  • This development offers a more reliable tool for computational studies involving weak molecular interactions and related chemical phenomena.
