Simulations of Two-dimensional Infrared and Stimulated Resonance Raman Spectra of Photoactive Yellow Protein.

ABSTRACT: We present simulations of one and two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) and stimulated resonance Raman (SRR) spectra of the dark state (pG) and early red-shifted intermediate (pR) of photoactive yellow protein (PYP). Shifts in the amide I and Glu46 COOH stretching bands distinguish between pG and pR in the IR absorption and 2DIR spectra. The one-dimensional SRR spectra are similar to the spontaneous RR spectra. The two-dimensional SRR spectra show large changes in cross peaks involving the C=O stretch of the two species and are more sensitive to the chromophore structure than 2DIR spectra.

Two-Dimensional Stimulated Ultraviolet Resonance Raman Spectra of Tyrosine and Tryptophan; A Simulation Study.

Project description:We report an ab-initio simulation study of the ultrafast broad bandwidth ultraviolet (UV) stimulated resonance Raman spectra (SRRS) of L-tyrosine, L-tryptophan and trans-L-tryptophan-L-tyrosine (WY) dipeptide. Two-pulse one-dimensional (1D) SRRS and three-pulse 2D SRRS that reveal inter- and intra-residue vibrational coorelations are simulated using electronically resonant or preresonant pulse configurations that select the Raman signal and discriminate against excited state pathways. Multimode effects are incorporated via the cumulant expansion. The 2D SRRS technique is more sensitive to residue couplings than spontaneous Raman.

Two-dimensional stimulated resonance Raman spectroscopy study of the Trp-cage peptide folding.

Project description:We report a combined molecular dynamics (MD) and ab initio simulation study of the ultrafast broadband ultraviolet (UV) stimulated resonance Raman (SRR) spectra of the Trp-cage mini protein. Characteristic two dimensional (2D) SRR features of various folding states are identified. Structural fluctuations erode the cross peaks and the correlation between diagonal peaks is a good indicator of the ?-helix formation.

Two-dimensional stimulated resonance Raman spectroscopy of molecules with broadband x-ray pulses.

Project description:Expressions for the two-dimensional stimulated x-ray Raman spectroscopy (2D-SXRS) signal obtained using attosecond x-ray pulses are derived. The 1D- and 2D-SXRS signals are calculated for trans-N-methyl acetamide (NMA) with broad bandwidth (181 as, 14.2 eV FWHM) pulses tuned to the oxygen and nitrogen K-edges. Crosspeaks in 2D signals reveal electronic Franck-Condon overlaps between valence orbitals and relaxed orbitals in the presence of the core-hole.

Time-resolved resonance raman structural studies of the pB' intermediate in the photocycle of photoactive yellow protein.

Project description:Time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy is used to obtain chromophore vibrational spectra of the pR, pB', and pB intermediates during the photocycle of photoactive yellow protein. In the pR spectrum, the C8-C9 stretching mode at 998 cm(-1) is approximately 60 cm(-1) lower than in the dark state, and the combination of C-O stretching and C7H=C8H bending at 1283 cm(-1) is insensitive to D2O substitution. These results indicate that pR has a deprotonated, cis chromophore structure and that the hydrogen bonding to the chromophore phenolate oxygen is preserved and strengthened in the early photoproduct. However, the intense C7H=C8H hydrogen out-of-plane (HOOP) mode at 979 cm(-1) suggests that the chromophore in pR is distorted at the vinyl and adjacent C8-C9 bonds. The formation of pB' involves chromophore protonation based on the protonation state marker at 1174 cm(-1) and on the sensitivity of the COH bending at 1148 cm(-1) as well as the combined C-OH stretching and C7H=C8H bending mode at 1252 cm(-1) to D2O substitution. The hydrogen out-of-plane Raman intensity at 985 cm(-1) significantly decreases in pB', suggesting that the pR-to-pB' transition is the stage where the stored photon energy is transferred from the distorted chromophore to the protein, producing a more relaxed pB' chromophore structure. The C=O stretching mode downshifts from 1660 to 1651 cm(-1) in the pB'-to-pB transition, indicating the reformation of a hydrogen bond to the carbonyl oxygen. Based on reported x-ray data, this suggests that the chromophore ring flips during the transition from pB' to pB. These results confirm the existence and importance of the pB' intermediate in photoactive yellow protein receptor activation.

Two-dimensional infrared spectra of isotopically diluted amyloid fibrils from Abeta40.

Project description:The 2D IR spectra of the amide-I vibrations of amyloid fibrils from Abeta40 were obtained. The matured fibrils formed from strands having isotopic substitution by (13)C (18)O at Gly-38, Gly-33, Gly-29, or Ala-21 show vibrational exciton spectra having reduced dimensionality. Indeed, linear chain excitons of amide units are seen, for which the interamide vibrational coupling is measured in fibrils grown from 50% and 5% mixtures of labeled and unlabeled strands. The data prove that the 1D excitons are formed from parallel in-register sheets. The coupling constants show that for each of the indicated residues the amide carbonyls in the chains are separated by 0.5 +/- 0.05 nm. The isotope replacement of Gly-25 does not reveal linear excitons, consistent with the region of the strand having a different structure distribution. The vibrational frequencies of the amide-I modes, freed from effects of amide vibrational excitation exchange by 5% dilution experiments, point to there being a component of an electric field along the fibril axis that increases through the sequence Gly-38, Gly-33, Gly-29. The field is dominated by side chains of neighboring residues.

Magnesium Contact Ions Stabilize the Tertiary Structure of Transfer RNA: Electrostatics Mapped by Two-Dimensional Infrared Spectra and Theoretical Simulations.

Project description:Ions interacting with hydrated RNA play a central role in defining its secondary and tertiary structure. While spatial arrangements of ions, water molecules, and phosphate groups have been inferred from X-ray studies, the role of electrostatic and other noncovalent interactions in stabilizing compact folded RNA structures is not fully understood at the molecular level. Here, we demonstrate that contact ion pairs of magnesium (Mg2+) and phosphate groups embedded in local water shells stabilize the tertiary equilibrium structure of transfer RNA (tRNA). Employing dialyzed tRNAPhe from yeast and tRNA from Escherichia coli, we follow the population of Mg2+ sites close to phosphate groups of the ribose-phosphodiester backbone step by step, combining linear and nonlinear infrared spectroscopy of phosphate vibrations with molecular dynamics simulations and ab initio vibrational frequency calculations. The formation of up to six Mg2+/phosphate contact pairs per tRNA and local field-induced reorientations of water molecules balance the phosphate-phosphate repulsion in nonhelical parts of tRNA, thus stabilizing the folded structure electrostatically. Such geometries display limited sub-picosecond fluctuations in the arrangement of water molecules and ion residence times longer than 1 μs. At higher Mg2+ excess, the number of contact ion pairs per tRNA saturates around 6 and weakly interacting ions prevail. Our results suggest a predominance of contact ion pairs over long-range coupling of the ion atmosphere and the biomolecule in defining and stabilizing the tertiary structure of tRNA.

Infrared and Raman spectra of lignin substructures: Dibenzodioxocin.

Project description:Vibrational spectroscopy is a very suitable tool for investigating the plant cell wall in situ with almost no sample preparation. The structural information of all different constituents is contained in a single spectrum. Interpretation therefore heavily relies on reference spectra and understanding of the vibrational behavior of the components under study. For the first time, we show infrared (IR) and Raman spectra of dibenzodioxocin (DBDO), an important lignin substructure. A detailed vibrational assignment of the molecule, based on quantum chemical computations, is given in the Supporting Information; the main results are found in the paper. Furthermore, we show IR and Raman spectra of synthetic guaiacyl lignin (dehydrogenation polymer-G-DHP). Raman spectra of DBDO and G-DHP both differ with respect to the excitation wavelength and therefore reveal different features of the substructure/polymer. This study confirms the idea previously put forward that Raman at 532 nm selectively probes end groups of lignin, whereas Raman at 785 nm and IR seem to represent the majority of lignin substructures.

Convolutional Neural Network Analysis of Two-Dimensional Hyperfine Sublevel Correlation Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectra.

Project description:A machine learning approach is presented for analyzing complex two-dimensional hyperfine sublevel correlation electron paramagnetic resonance (HYSCORE EPR) spectra with the proficiency of an expert spectroscopist. The computer vision algorithm requires no training on experimental data; rather, all of the spin physics required to interpret the spectra are learned from simulations alone. This approach is therefore applicable even when insufficient experimental data exist to train the algorithm. The neural network is demonstrated to be capable of utilizing the full information content of two-dimensional 14N HYSCORE spectra to predict the magnetic coupling parameters and their underlying probability distributions that were previously inaccessible. The predicted hyperfine ( a, T) and 14N quadrupole ( K, η) coupling constants deviate from the previous manual analyses of the experimental spectra on average by 0.11 MHz, 0.09 MHz, 0.19 MHz, and 0.09, respectively.

Anharmonic theoretical simulations of infrared spectra of halogenated organic compounds.

Project description:The recent implementation of the computation of infrared (IR) intensities beyond the double-harmonic approximation [J. Bloino and V. Barone, J. Chem. Phys. 136, 124108 (2012)] paved the route to routine calculations of infrared spectra for a wide set of molecular systems. Halogenated organic compounds represent an interesting class of molecules, from both an atmospheric and computational point of view, due to the peculiar chemical features related to the halogen atoms. In this work, we simulate the IR spectra of eight halogenated molecules (CH2F2, CHBrF2, CH2DBr, CF3Br, CH2CHF, CF2CFCl, cis-CHFCHBr, cis-CHFCHI), using two common hybrid and double-hybrid density functionals in conjunction with both double- and triple-? quality basis sets (SNSD and cc-pVTZ) as well as employing the coupled-cluster theory with basis sets of at least triple-? quality. Finally, we compare our results with available experimental spectra, with the aim of checking the accuracy and the performances of the computational approaches.

Two stereoisomers of spheroidene in the Rhodobacter sphaeroides R26 reaction center: a DFT analysis of resonance Raman spectra.

Project description:From a theoretical analysis of the resonance Raman spectra of 19 isotopomers of spheroidene reconstituted into the reaction center (RC) of Rhodobacter sphaeroides R26, we conclude that the carotenoid in the RC occurs in two configurations. The normal mode underlying the resonance Raman transition at 1239 cm(-1), characteristic for spheroidene in the RC, has been identified and found to uniquely refer to the cis nature of the 15,15' carbon-carbon double bond. Detailed analysis of the isotope-induced shifts of transitions in the 1500-1550 cm(-1) region proves that, besides the 15,15'-cis configuration, spheroidene in the RC adopts another cis-configuration, most likely the 13,14-cis configuration.
