UNDERSTANDING STRUCTURAL EFFECTS OF MULTIPOLE MOMENTS ON AQUEOUS SOLVATION OF IONS USING THE SOFT-STICKY DIPOLE-QUADRUPOLE-OCTUPOLE WATER MODEL.

ABSTRACT: The effects of water multipole moments on the aqueous solvation of ions were determined in Monte Carlo simulations using soft-sticky dipole-quadrupole-octupole (SSDQO) water. Water molecules formed linear hydrogen bonds to Cl(-) using the new SSDQO1 parameters, similar to multi-site models. However, the dipole vector was tilted rather than parallel to the oxygen-Na(+) internuclear vector as in most multi-site model, while experiment and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations generally indicate a range of values between tilted and parallel. By varying the multipoles in SSDQO, the octupole was found to determine the orientation around Na(+). Moreover, analysis of the multipoles of more conventional models is predictive of their performance as solvents.

Solvation of Glucose, Trehalose, and Sucrose by the Soft Sticky Dipole-Quadrupole-Octupole Water Model.

Project description:Water structure around sugars modeled by partial charges is compared for soft-sticky dipole-quadrupole-octupole (SSDQO), a fast single-site multipole model, and commonly used multi-site models in Monte Carlo simulations. Radial distribution functions and coordination numbers of all the models indicate similar hydration by hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor waters. However, the new optimized SSDQO1 parameters as well as TIP4P-Ew and TIP5P predict a "lone-pair" orientation for the water accepting the sugar hydroxyl hydrogen bond that is more consistent with the limited experimental data than the "dipole" orientation in SPC/E, which has important implications for studies of the cryoprotectant properties of sugars.

Temperature and pressure dependence of the optimized soft-sticky dipole-quadrupole-octupole water model.

Project description:The soft-sticky dipole-quadrupole-octupole (SSDQO) potential energy function for a coarse-grained single-site water model has Lennard-Jones interactions and an approximate multipole expansion for the electrostatics. Here, the Lennard-Jones parameters and multipole moments of SSDQO were optimized so that the structural, thermodynamic, dynamic, and dielectric properties agreed with experimental values of liquid water at ambient conditions. Using these parameters, the temperature and pressure dependence of various properties were shown to be in good agreement with experiment, including a temperature of maximum density at approximately 260 K. This new parametrization, referred to as SSDQO1, is both computationally faster and generally more accurate over a wide range of conditions than traditional three-site water models, which demonstrates that a model with a single dipole, quadrupole, and octupole on each water molecule can reproduce the tetrahedral hydrogen bonded network of water.

Excited-State Dipole and Quadrupole Moments: TD-DFT versus CC2.

Project description:The accuracies of the excited-state dipole and quadrupole moments obtained by TD-DFT are assessed by considering 16 different exchange-correlation functionals and more than 30 medium and large molecules. Except for excited-state presenting a significant charge-transfer character, a relatively limited dependency on the nature of the functional is found. It also turns out that while DFT ground-state dipole moments tend to be too large, the reverse trend is obtained for their excited-state counterparts, at least when hybrid functionals are used. Consequently, the TD-DFT excess dipole moments are often too small, an error that can be fortuitously corrected for charge-transfer transition by selecting a pure or a hybrid functional containing a small share of exact exchange. This error-cancelation phenomena explains the contradictory conclusions obtained in previous investigations. Overall, the largest correlation between CC2 and TD-DFT excess dipoles is obtained with M06-2X, but at the price of a nearly systematic underestimation of this property by ca. 1 D. For the excess quadrupole moments, the average errors are of the order of 0.2-0.6 D·Å for the set of small aromatic systems treated.

Explaining the Microtubule Energy Balance: Contributions Due to Dipole Moments, Charges, van der Waals and Solvation Energy.

Project description:Microtubules are the main components of mitotic spindles, and are the pillars of the cellular cytoskeleton. They perform most of their cellular functions by virtue of their unique dynamic instability processes which alternate between polymerization and depolymerization phases. This in turn is driven by a precise balance between attraction and repulsion forces between the constituents of microtubules (MTs)-tubulin dimers. Therefore, it is critically important to know what contributions result in a balance of the interaction energy among tubulin dimers that make up microtubules and what interactions may tip this balance toward or away from a stable polymerized state of tubulin. In this paper, we calculate the dipole-dipole interaction energy between tubulin dimers in a microtubule as part of the various contributions to the energy balance. We also compare the remaining contributions to the interaction energies between tubulin dimers and establish a balance between stabilizing and destabilizing components, including the van der Waals, electrostatic, and solvent-accessible surface area energies. The energy balance shows that the GTP-capped tip of the seam at the plus end of microtubules is stabilized only by - 9 kcal/mol, which can be completely reversed by the hydrolysis of a single GTP molecule, which releases + 14 kcal/mol and destabilizes the seam by an excess of + 5 kcal/mol. This triggers the breakdown of microtubules and initiates a disassembly phase which is aptly called a catastrophe.

pH Dependence of Charge Multipole Moments in Proteins.

Project description:Electrostatic interactions play a fundamental role in the structure and function of proteins. Due to ionizable amino acid residues present on the solvent-exposed surfaces of proteins, the protein charge is not constant but varies with the changes in the environment-most notably, the pH of the surrounding solution. We study the effects of pH on the charge of four globular proteins by expanding their surface charge distributions in terms of multipoles. The detailed representation of the charges on the proteins is in this way replaced by the magnitudes and orientations of the multipole moments of varying order. Focusing on the three lowest-order multipoles-the total charge, dipole, and quadrupole moment-we show that the value of pH influences not only their magnitudes, but more notably and importantly also the spatial orientation of their principal axes. Our findings imply important consequences for the study of protein-protein interactions and the assembly of both proteinaceous shells and patchy colloids with dissociable charge groups.

Prediction of conformationally dependent atomic multipole moments in carbohydrates.

Project description:The conformational flexibility of carbohydrates is challenging within the field of computational chemistry. This flexibility causes the electron density to change, which leads to fluctuating atomic multipole moments. Quantum Chemical Topology (QCT) allows for the partitioning of an "atom in a molecule," thus localizing electron density to finite atomic domains, which permits the unambiguous evaluation of atomic multipole moments. By selecting an ensemble of physically realistic conformers of a chemical system, one evaluates the various multipole moments at defined points in configuration space. The subsequent implementation of the machine learning method kriging delivers the evaluation of an analytical function, which smoothly interpolates between these points. This allows for the prediction of atomic multipole moments at new points in conformational space, not trained for but within prediction range. In this work, we demonstrate that the carbohydrates erythrose and threose are amenable to the above methodology. We investigate how kriging models respond when the training ensemble incorporating multiple energy minima and their environment in conformational space. Additionally, we evaluate the gains in predictive capacity of our models as the size of the training ensemble increases. We believe this approach to be entirely novel within the field of carbohydrates. For a modest training set size of 600, more than 90% of the external test configurations have an error in the total (predicted) electrostatic energy (relative to ab initio) of maximum 1 kJ mol(-1) for open chains and just over 90% an error of maximum 4 kJ mol(-1) for rings.

Solvation Structure and Energetics of Single Ions at the Aqueous Liquid-Vapor Interface.

Project description:Potentials of mean force for single, nonpolarizable monovalent halide anions and alkali cations are computed for transversing the water-air interface (modeling using polarizable TIP4P-FQ and TIP4P-QDP). Iodide and bromide in TIP4P-FQ show interfacial stability, whereas chloride, bromide, and iodide show interfacial stability in TIP4P-QDP. A monotonic decrease in coordination number and an increasingly anisotropic distribution of solvating water molecules is shown to accompany movement of the ions towards vapor conditions; these effects are most noticeable with increases in ion size/decreases in magnitude of hydration free energy.

Computation of the dipole moments of proteins.

Project description:A simple and computationally feasible procedure for the calculation of net charges and dipole moments of proteins at arbitrary pH and salt conditions is described. The method is intended to provide data that may be compared to the results of transient electric dichroism experiments on protein solutions. The procedure consists of three major steps: (i) calculation of self energies and interaction energies for ionizable groups in the protein by using the finite-difference Poisson-Boltzmann method, (ii) determination of the position of the center of diffusion (to which the calculated dipole moment refers) and the extinction coefficient tensor for the protein, and (iii) generation of the equilibrium distribution of protonation states of the protein by a Monte Carlo procedure, from which mean and root-mean-square dipole moments and optical anisotropies are calculated. The procedure is applied to 12 proteins. It is shown that it gives hydrodynamic and electrical parameters for proteins in good agreement with experimental data.

A server and database for dipole moments of proteins.

Project description:An Internet server at http://bip.weizmann.ac.il/dipol calculates the net charge, dipole moment and mean radius of any 3D protein structure or its constituent peptide chains, and displays the dipole vector superimposed on a ribbon backbone of the protein. The server can also display the angle between the dipole and a selected list of amino acid residues in the protein. When the net charges and dipole moments of approximately 12 000 non-homologous PDB biological units (PISCES set), and their unique chains of length 50 residues or longer, were examined, the great majority of both charges and dipoles fell into a very narrow range of values, with long extended tails containing a few extreme outliers. In general, there is no obvious relation between a protein's charge or dipole moment and its structure or function, so that its electrostatic properties are highly specific to the particular protein, except that the majority of chains with very large positive charges or dipoles bind to ribosomes or interact with nucleic acids.

Dynamically fluctuating electric dipole moments in fullerene-based magnets.

Project description:We report here the direct evidence of the existence of a permanent electric dipole moment in both crystal phases of a fullerene-based magnet--the ferromagnetic ?-phase and the antiferromagnetic ?'-phase of tetra-kis-(dimethylamino)-ethylene-C60 (TDAE-C60)--as determined by dielectric measurements. We propose that the permanent electric dipole originates from the pairing of a TDAE molecule with surrounding C60 molecules. The two polymorphs exhibit clear differences in their dielectric responses at room temperature and during the freezing process with dynamically fluctuating electric dipole moments, although no difference in their room-temperature structures has been previously observed. This result implies that two polymorphs have different local environment around the molecules. In particular, the ferromagnetism of the ?-phase is founded on the homogeneous molecule displacement and orientational ordering. The formation of the different phases with respect to the different rotational states in the Jahn-Teller distorted C60s is also discussed.
