A molecular modelling study of the interaction between beta-cyclodextrin and the organophosphorothioate pesticide
Glycoconjugate Journal
|May 14, 1998
Abstract:
The interaction between parathion and beta-cyclodextrin was investigated by Molecular Dynamics. Several in vacuo trajectories were calculated for the system imposing a 1:1 stoichiometry. The influence of the solvent and temperature was considered. The results account for the formation of adducts which are stable at room temperature and involve mainly the nitrophenoxy group of the guest molecules which interacts with the hydrophobic cavity of the host by van der Waals forces.
