Hydrogen bonding of beta-turn structure is stabilized in D(2)O.

ABSTRACT: The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) was investigated as a function of ELP chain length and guest residue chemistry. These measurements were made in both D(2)O and H(2)O. Differences in the LCST values with heavy and light water were correlated with secondary structure formation of the polypeptide chains. Such structural information was obtained by circular dichroism and infrared measurements. Additional thermodynamic data were obtained by differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that there is a greater change in the LCST value between H(2)O and D(2)O for those polypeptides which form the greatest amount of beta-turn/beta-aggregate structure. Moreover, these same molecules were the least hydrophobic ELPs. Therefore, hydrogen bonding rather than hydrophobicity was the key factor in the stabilization of the collapsed state of ELPs in D(2)O compared with H(2)O.

Crystal structure and hydrogen bonding in the water-stabilized proton-transfer salt brucinium 4-amino-phenyl-arsonate tetra-hydrate.

Project description:In the structure of the brucinium salt of 4-amino-phenyl-arsonic acid (p-arsanilic acid), systematically 2,3-dimeth-oxy-10-oxostrychnidinium 4-amino-phenyl-ar-son-ate tetra-hydrate, (C23H27N2O4)[As(C6H7N)O2(OH)]·4H2O, the brucinium cations form the characteristic undulating and overlapping head-to-tail layered brucine substructures packed along [010]. The arsanilate anions and the water mol-ecules of solvation are accommodated between the layers and are linked to them through a primary cation N-H?O(anion) hydrogen bond, as well as through water O-H?O hydrogen bonds to brucinium and arsanilate ions as well as bridging water O-atom acceptors, giving an overall three-dimensional network structure.

Spectroscopic Evidence for Clusters of Like-Charged Ions in Ionic Liquids Stabilized by Cooperative Hydrogen Bonding.

Project description:Direct spectroscopic evidence for hydrogen-bonded clusters of like-charged ions is reported for ionic liquids. The measured infrared O-H vibrational bands of the hydroxyethyl groups in the cations can be assigned to the dispersion-corrected DFT calculated frequencies of linear and cyclic clusters. Compensating the like-charge Coulomb repulsion, these cationic clusters can range up to cyclic tetramers resembling molecular clusters of water and alcohols. These ionic clusters are mainly present at low temperature and show strong cooperative effects in hydrogen bonding. DFT-D3 calculations of the pure multiply charged clusters suggest that the attractive hydrogen bonds can compete with repulsive Coulomb forces.

Structure, hydrogen bonding and thermal expansion of ammonium carbonate monohydrate.

Project description:We have determined the crystal structure of ammonium carbonate monohydrate, (NH4)2CO3·H2O, using Laue single-crystal diffraction methods with pulsed neutron radiation. The crystal is orthorhombic, space group Pnma (Z = 4), with unit-cell dimensions a = 12.047?(3), b = 4.453?(1), c = 11.023?(3)?Å and V = 591.3?(3)?Å(3) [?calc = 1281.8?(7)?kg?m(-3)] at 10?K. The single-crystal data collected at 10 and 100?K are complemented by X-ray powder diffraction data measured from 245 to 273?K, Raman spectra measured from 80 to 263?K and an athermal zero-pressure calculation of the electronic structure and phonon spectrum carried out using density functional theory (DFT). We find no evidence of a phase transition between 10 and 273?K; above 273?K, however, the title compound transforms first to ammonium sesquicarbonate monohydrate and subsequently to ammonium bicarbonate. The crystallographic and spectroscopic data and the calculations reveal a quite strongly hydrogen-bonded structure (EHB ? 30-40?kJ?mol(-1)), on the basis of H...O bond lengths and the topology of the electron density at the bond critical points, in which there is no free rotation of the ammonium cation at any temperature. The barrier to free rotation of the ammonium ions is estimated from the observed librational frequency to be ??36?kJ?mol(-1). The c-axis exhibits negative thermal expansion, but the thermal expansion behaviour of the a and b axes is ormal.

Effects of Stereochemistry and Hydrogen Bonding on Glycopolymer-Amyloid-β Interactions.

Project description:Saccharide stereochemistry plays an important role in carbohydrate functions such as biological recognition processes and protein binding. Synthetic glycopolymers with pendant saccharides of controlled stereochemistry provide an attractive approach for the design of polysaccharide-inspired biomaterials. Acrylamide-based polymers containing either β,d-glucose or β,d-galactose pendant groups, designed to mimic GM1 ganglioside saccharides, and their small-molecule analogues were used to evaluate the effect of stereochemistry on glycopolymer solution aggregation processes alone and in the presence of Aβ42 peptide using dynamic light scattering, gel permeation chromatography-multiangle laser light scattering, and fluorescence assays. Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) were employed to determine hydrogen bonding patterns of the systems. The galactose-containing polymer displayed significant intramolecular hydrogen bonding and self-aggregation and minimal association with Aβ42, while the glucose-containing glycopolymers showed intermolecular interactions with the surrounding environment and association with Aβ42. Saturation transfer difference NMR spectroscopy demonstrated different binding affinities for the two glycopolymers to Aβ42 peptide.

Nickel(II) complexes stabilized by bis[N-(6-pivalamido-2-pyridylmethyl)]benzylamine: Synthesis and characterization of complexes stabilized by a hydrogen bonding network.

Project description:Hydrogen bonds in metalloproteins are key in directing reactivity yet to be achieved in synthetic systems. We have been developing a synthetic system that uses hydrogen-bonding interactions to modulate the secondary coordination around a transition metal ion. This was accomplished with the ligand bis[N-(6-pivalamido-2-pyridylmethyl)]benzylamine (H(2)pmb), which contains two carboxyamido units appended from pyridine rings. Several nickel complexes were prepared and structurally characterized. In particular, we found that the appended carboxyamido groups either provide intramolecular H-bond donors or can be converted to bind directly to a metal center. We established that the complex Ni(II)H(2)pmb(Cl)(2) can be sequentially deprotonated with potassium tert-butoxide, causing coordination of the carboxyamido oxygen atoms and concomitant loss of the chloro ligands. The chloro ligands were also removed with silver(I) salts-in the presence of acetate ions, the complex Ni(II)H(2)pmb(?(2)-OAc)(?(1)-OAc) was isolated, in which an intramolecular H-bonding network occurs between the H(2)pmb ligand and the coordinate acetato ligands.

A Family of Ethyl N-Salicylideneglycinate Dyes Stabilized by Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding: Photophysical Properties and Computational Study.

Project description:In this work we report solvatochromic and luminescent properties of ethyl N-salicylideneglycinate (1), ethyl N-(5-methoxysalicylidene)glycinate (2), ethyl N-(5-bromosalicylidene)glycinate (3), and ethyl N-(5-nitrosalicylidene)glycinate (4) dyes. 1-4 correspond to a class of N-salicylidene aniline derivatives, whose photophysical properties are dictated by the intramolecular proton transfer between the OH-function and the imine N-atom, affording tautomerization between the enol-imine and keto-enamine forms. Photophysical properties of 1-4 were studied in different pure non-polar and (a)protic polar solvents as well as upon gradual addition of NEt3, NaOH, and CH3SO3H. The DFT calculations were performed to verify the structures of 1-4 as well as their electronic and optical properties.

Protein structure prediction: do hydrogen bonding and water-mediated interactions suffice?

Project description:The many-body physics of hydrogen bond formation in alpha-helices of globular proteins was investigated using a simple physics-based model. Specifically, a context-sensitive hydrogen bond potential, which depends on residue identity and degree of solvent exposure, was used in the framework of the Associated Memory Hamiltonian codes developed previously but without using local-sequence structure matches ("memories"). Molecular dynamics simulations employing the energy function using the context-sensitive hydrogen bond potential alone (the "amnesiac" model) were used to generate low energy structures for three alpha-helical test proteins. The resulting structures were compared to both the X-ray crystal structures of the test proteins and the results obtained using the full Associated Memory Hamiltonian previously used. Results show that the amnesiac Hamiltonian was able to generate structures with reasonably high structural similarity (Q approximately 0.4) to that of the native protein but only with the use of predicted secondary structure information encoding local steric signals. Low energy structures obtained using the amnesiac Hamiltonian without any a priori secondary structure information had considerably less similarity to the native protein structures (Q approximately 0.3). Both sets of results utilizing the amnesiac Hamiltonian are poorer than when local-sequence structure matches are used.

Crystal structure and hydrogen-bonding patterns in 5-fluoro-cytosinium picrate.

Project description:In the crystal structure of the title compound, 5-fluoro-cytosinium picrate, C4H5FN3O+·C6H2N3O7-, one N heteroatom of the 5-fluoro-cytosine (5FC) ring is protonated. The 5FC ring forms a dihedral angle of 19.97 (11)° with the ring of the picrate (PA-) anion. In the crystal, the 5FC+ cation inter-acts with the PA- anion through three-centre N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming two conjoined rings having R21(6) and R12(6) motifs, and is extended by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯O inter-actions into a two-dimensional sheet structure lying parallel to (001). Also present in the crystal structure are weak C-F⋯π inter-actions.

Hydrogen-Bonding-Driven Nontraditional Photoluminescence of a <i>β</i>-Enamino Ester.

Project description:Nontraditional luminogens (NTLs) do not contain any conventional chromophores (large π-conjugated structures), but they do show intrinsic photoluminescence. To achieve photoluminescence from NTLs, it is necessary to increase the extent of through-space conjugation (TSC) and suppress nonradiative decay. Incorporating strong physical interactions such as hydrogen bonding is an effective strategy to achieve this. In this work, we carried out comparative studies on the photoluminescence behaviors of two β-enamino esters with similar chemical structures, namely methyl 3-aminocrotonate (MAC) and methyl (E)-3-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-butenoate (MPB). MAC crystal emits blue fluorescence under UV irradiation. The critical cluster concentration of MAC in ethanol solutions was determined by studying the relationship between the photoluminescence intensity (UV-visible absorbance) and concentration. Furthermore, MAC exhibits solvatochromism, and its emission wavelength redshifts as the solvent polarity increases. On the contrary, MPB is non-emissive in both solid state and solutions. Crystal structures and theoretical calculation prove that strong inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of large amounts of TSC of MAC molecules in aggregated states. No hydrogen bonds and thus no effective TSC can be formed between or within MPB molecules, and this is the reason for its non-emissive nature. This work provides a deeper understanding of how hydrogen bonding contributes to the luminescence of NTLs.

Crystal structure and hydrogen bonding in N-(1-de-oxy-β-d-fructo-pyranos-1-yl)-2-amino-isobutyric acid.

Project description:The title compound, alternatively called d-fructose-2-amino-isobutyric acid (FruAib), C10H19NO7, (I), crystallizes exclusively in the β-pyran-ose form, with two conformationally non-equivalent mol-ecules [(IA) and (IB)] in the asymmetric unit. In solution, FruAib establishes an equilibrium, with 75.6% of the population consisting of β-pyran-ose, 10.4% β-furan-ose, 10.1% α-furan-ose, 3.0% α-pyran-ose and <0.7% the acyclic forms. The carbohydrate ring in (I) has the normal 2C5 chair conformation and the amino acid portion is in the zwitterion form. Bond lengths and valence angles compare well with the average values from related pyran-ose structures. All carboxyl, hy-droxy and ammonium groups are involved in hydrogen bonding and form a three-dimensional network of infinite chains that are connected through homodromic rings and short chains. Intra-molecular hydrogen bonds bridge the amino acid and sugar portions in both mol-ecules. A comparative Hirshfeld surfaces analysis of FruAib and four other sugar-amino acids suggests an increasing role of intra-molecular heteroatom inter-actions in crystal structures with an increasing proportion of C-H bonds.
