Importance of dipole moments and ambient polarity for the conformation of Xaa-Pro moieties - a combined experimental and theoretical study.

ABSTRACT: NMR spectroscopic studies with a series of proline derivatives revealed that the polarity of the environment has a significant effect on the trans?:?cis isomer ratio of Xaa-Pro bonds. Computational studies showed that this effect is due to differences in the overall dipole moments of trans and cis conformers. Comparisons between the conformational properties of amide and ester derivatives revealed an intricate balance between polarity effects and n ? ?* interactions of adjacent carbonyl groups. The findings have important implications for protein folding and signaling as well as the performance of proline-based stereoselective catalysts.

Prediction of Xaa-Pro peptide bond conformation from sequence and chemical shifts.

Project description:We present a program, named Promega, to predict the Xaa-Pro peptide bond conformation on the basis of backbone chemical shifts and the amino acid sequence. Using a chemical shift database of proteins of known structure together with the PDB-extracted amino acid preference of cis Xaa-Pro peptide bonds, a cis/trans probability score is calculated from the backbone and (13)C(beta) chemical shifts of the proline and its neighboring residues. For an arbitrary number of input chemical shifts, which may include Pro-(13)C(gamma), Promega calculates the statistical probability that a Xaa-Pro peptide bond is cis. Besides its potential as a validation tool, Promega is particularly useful for studies of larger proteins where Pro-(13)C(gamma) assignments can be challenging, and for on-going efforts to determine protein structures exclusively on the basis of backbone and (13)C(beta) chemical shifts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Furthermore, the rotationally resolved electronic Stark spectrum of anisole in the molecular beam is presented. Finally, the Cartesian coordinates of the CC2/cc-pVTZ optimized structures of anisole are given in bohr units. For details about the evaluation of the dipole moments from the given data, see the connected research article: Lindic et al. (2018) [1].

Chiral intertwined spirals and magnetic transition dipole moments dictated by cylinder helicity.

Project description:The presence of anomalous chirality in a roll of graphitic carbon sheets has been recognized since the discovery of carbon nanotubes, which are becoming available in higher quantities through the isolation of chiral single-wall congeners with high purity. Exploration of the properties arising from cylinder chirality is expected to expand the scope of tubular entities in the future. By studying molecular fragments of helical carbon nanotubes, we herein reveal interesting properties that arise from this chirality. The chirality of nanoscale cylinders resulted in chirality of larger dimensions in the form of a double-helix assembly. Cylinder chirality in solution gave rise to a large dissymmetry factor of metal-free entities in circular polarized luminescence. Theoretical investigations revealed the pivotal role of cylindrical shapes in enhancing magnetic dipole transition moments to yield extreme rotatory strength. Unique effects of cylinder chirality in this study may prompt the development of tubular entities, for instance, toward chiroptical applications.

A protein self-assembly model guided by electrostatic and hydrophobic dipole moments.

Project description:Protein self-assembling is studied under the light of the Biological Membrane model. To this purpose we define a simplified formulation of hydrophobic interaction energy in analogy with electrostatic energy stored in an electric dipole. Self-assembly is considered to be the result of the balanced influence of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, limited by steric hindrance as a consequence of the relative proximity of their components. Our analysis predicts the type of interaction that drives an assembly. We study the growth of both electrostatic and hydrophobic energies stored by a protein system as it self-assembles. Each type of assembly is studied by using two examples, PDBid 2OM3 (hydrophobic) and PDBid 3ZEE (electrostatic). Other systems are presented to show the application of our procedure. We also study the relative orientation of the monomers constituting the first dimer of a protein assembly to check whether their relative position provides the optimal interaction energy (energy minimum). It is shown that the inherent orientation of the dimers corresponds to the optimum energy (energy minimum) of assembly compatible with steric limitations. These results confirm and refine our Biological Membrane model of protein self-assembly valid for all open and closed systems.

Anticorrelation between the Evolution of Molecular Dipole Moments and Induced Work Function Modifications.

Project description:We explore the limits of modifying metal work functions with large molecular dipoles by systematically increasing the dipole moment of archetype donor-acceptor molecules in self-assembled monolayers on gold. Contrary to intuition, we find that enhancing the dipoles leads to a reduction of the adsorption-induced change of the work function. Using atomistic simulations, we show that large dipoles imply electronic localization and level shifts that drive the interface into a thermodynamically unstable situation and trigger compensating charge reorganizations working against the molecular dipoles. Under certain circumstances, these are even found to overcompensate the effect that increasing the dipoles has for the work function.
