Dynamics of Hydrogen Bonding in Three-Component Nanorotors.

ABSTRACT: The dynamics of hydrogen bonding do not only play an important role in many biochemical processes but also in Nature's multicomponent machines. Here, a three-component nanorotor is presented where both the self-assembly and rotational dynamics are guided by hydrogen bonding. In the rate-limiting step of the rotational exchange, two phenolic O-H-N,N(phenanthroline) hydrogen bonds are cleaved, a process that was followed by variable-temperature 1 H?NMR spectroscopy. Activation data (?G? 298 =46.7?kJ?mol-1 at 298?K, ?H? =55.3?kJ?mol-1 , and ?S? =28.8?J?mol-1 ?K-1 ) were determined, furnishing a rotational exchange frequency of k298 =40.0?kHz. Fully reversible disassembly/assembly of the nanorotor was achieved by addition of 5.0?equivalents of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) over three cycles.

Ultrafast Hydrogen-Bonding Dynamics in Amyloid Fibrils.

Project description:While there are many studies on the subject of hydrogen-bonding dynamics in biological systems, few, if any, have investigated this fundamental process in amyloid fibrils. Herein, we seek to add insight into this topic by assessing the dynamics of a hydrogen bond buried in the dry interface of amyloid fibrils. To prepare a suitable model peptide system for this purpose, we introduce two mutations into the amyloid-forming A?16-22 peptide. The first one is a lysine analogue at position 19, which is used to help form structurally homogeneous fibrils, and the second one is an aspartic acid derivative (DM) at position 17, which is intended (1) to be used as a site-specific infrared probe and (2) to serve as a hydrogen-bond acceptor to lysine so that an inter-?-sheet hydrogen bond can be formed in the fibrils. Using both infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, we show that (1) this mutant peptide indeed forms well-defined fibrils, (2) when bulk solvent is removed, there is no detectable water present in the fibrils, (3) infrared results obtained with the DM probe are consistent with a protofibril structure that is composed of two antiparallel ?-sheets stacked in a parallel fashion, leading to formation of the expected hydrogen bond. Using two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy, we further show that the dynamics of this hydrogen bond occur on a time scale of ?2.3 ps, which is attributed to the rapid rotation of the -NH3+ group of lysine around its C?-N? bond. Taken together, these results suggest that (1) DM is a useful infrared marker in facilitating structure determination of amyloid fibrils and (2) even in the tightly packed core of amyloid fibrils certain amino acid side chains can undergo ultrafast motions, hence contributing to the thermodynamic stability of the system.

Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding Restricts Gd-Aqua-Ligand Dynamics.

Project description:Aqua ligands can undergo rapid internal rotation about the M-O bond. For magnetic resonance contrast agents, this rotation results in diminished relaxivity. Herein, we show that an intramolecular hydrogen bond to the aqua ligand can reduce this internal rotation and increase relaxivity. Molecular modeling was used to design a series of four Gd complexes capable of forming an intramolecular H-bond to the coordinated water ligand, and these complexes had anomalously high relaxivities compared to similar complexes lacking a H-bond acceptor. Molecular dynamics simulations supported the formation of a stable intramolecular H-bond, while alternative hypotheses that could explain the higher relaxivity were systematically ruled out. Intramolecular H-bonding represents a useful strategy to limit internal water rotational motion and increase relaxivity of Gd complexes.

Composition-Dependent Hydrogen-Bonding Motifs and Dynamics in Bronsted Acid-Base Mixtures.

Project description:In recent years the interaction of organophosphates and imines, which is at the core of Brønsted acid organocatalysis, has been established to be based on strong ionic hydrogen bonds. Yet, besides the formation of homodimers consisting of two acid molecules and heterodimers consisting of one acid and one base, also multimeric molecular aggregates are formed in solution. These multimeric aggregates consist of one base and several acid molecules. The details of the intermolecular bonding in such aggregates, however, have remained elusive. To characterize composition-dependent bonding and bonding dynamics in these aggregates, we use linear and nonlinear infrared (IR) spectroscopy at varying molar ratios of diphenyl phosphoric acid and quinaldine. We identify the individual aggregate species, giving rise to the structured, strong, and very broad infrared absorptions, which span more than 1000 cm-1. Linear infrared spectra and density functional theory calculations of the proton transfer potential show that doubly ionic intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the acid and the base lead to absorptions which peak at ∼2040 cm-1. The contribution of singly ionic hydrogen bonds between an acid anion and an acid molecule is observed at higher frequencies. As common to such strong hydrogen bonds, ultrafast IR spectroscopy reveals rapid, ∼ 100 fs, dissipation of energy from the proton transfer coordinate. Yet, the full dissipation of the excess energy occurs on a ∼0.8-1.1 ps time scale, which becomes longer when multimers dominate. Our results thus demonstrate the coupling and collectivity of the hydrogen bonds within these complexes, which enable efficient energy transfer.

Hydrogen bonding sewing interface.

Project description:The strong force that originates from breaking covalent bonds can be easily quantified through various testing platforms, while weak interfacial sliding resistance (ISR), originating from hydrogen bonding or van der Waals (vdW) forces, is very challenging to measure. Facilitated by an in-house nanomechanical testing system, we are able to precisely quantify and clearly distinguish the interfacial interactions between individual carbon fibers and several substrates governed by either hydrogen bonding or vdW forces. The specific ISR of the interface dominated by vdW forces is 3.55 ± 0.50 μN mm-1 and it surprisingly increases to 157.86 ± 44.18 μN mm-1 if the interface is bridged by hydrogen bonding. The ad hoc studies demonstrate that hydrogen bonding rather than vdW forces has great potential in sewing the interface if both surfaces are supportive of the formation of hydrogen bonds. The findings will enlighten the engineering of interfacial interactions and further mediate the entire mechanical performance of structures.

Three strategically placed hydrogen-bonding residues convert a proton pump into a sensory receptor.

Project description:In haloarchaea, light-driven ion transporters have been modified by evolution to produce sensory receptors that relay light signals to transducer proteins controlling motility behavior. The proton pump bacteriorhodopsin and the phototaxis receptor sensory rhodopsin II (SRII) differ by 74% of their residues, with nearly all conserved residues within the photoreactive retinal-binding pocket in the membrane-embedded center of the proteins. Here, we show that three residues in bacteriorhodopsin replaced by the corresponding residues in SRII enable bacteriorhodopsin to efficiently relay the retinal photoisomerization signal to the SRII integral membrane transducer (HtrII) and induce robust phototaxis responses. A single replacement (Ala-215-Thr), bridging the retinal and the membrane-embedded surface, confers weak phototaxis signaling activity, and the additional two (surface substitutions Pro-200-Thr and Val-210-Tyr), expected to align bacteriorhodopsin and HtrII in similar juxtaposition as SRII and HtrII, greatly enhance the signaling. In SRII, the three residues form a chain of hydrogen bonds from the retinal's photoisomerized C(13)=C(14) double bond to residues in the membrane-embedded alpha-helices of HtrII. The results suggest a chemical mechanism for signaling that entails initial storage of energy of photoisomerization in SRII's hydrogen bond between Tyr-174, which is in contact with the retinal, and Thr-204, which borders residues on the SRII surface in contact with HtrII, followed by transfer of this chemical energy to drive structural transitions in the transducer helices. The results demonstrate that evolution accomplished an elegant but simple conversion: The essential differences between transport and signaling proteins in the rhodopsin family are far less than previously imagined.

Halogen Bonding versus Hydrogen Bonding: A Molecular Orbital Perspective.

Project description:We have carried out extensive computational analyses of the structure and bonding mechanism in trihalides DX⋅⋅⋅A(-) and the analogous hydrogen-bonded complexes DH⋅⋅⋅A(-) (D, X, A=F, Cl, Br, I) using relativistic density functional theory (DFT) at zeroth-order regular approximation ZORA-BP86/TZ2P. One purpose was to obtain a set of consistent data from which reliable trends in structure and stability can be inferred over a large range of systems. The main objective was to achieve a detailed understanding of the nature of halogen bonds, how they resemble, and also how they differ from, the better understood hydrogen bonds. Thus, we present an accurate physical model of the halogen bond based on quantitative Kohn-Sham molecular orbital (MO) theory, energy decomposition analyses (EDA) and Voronoi deformation density (VDD) analyses of the charge distribution. It appears that the halogen bond in DX⋅⋅⋅A(-) arises not only from classical electrostatic attraction but also receives substantial stabilization from HOMO-LUMO interactions between the lone pair of A(-) and the σ* orbital of D-X.

pH-controlled hydrogen-bonding.

Project description:The pH-dependence of the degree of hydrogen-bonding between a base and its conjugate acid is considered. When only a small proportion of the total base is complexed, the amount complexed is proportional to (1+coshp)(-1) where p=2.303 (pK(a)-pH), pK(a) being the dissociation constant of the conjugate acid. This represents sharp pH-dependence. As the proportion complexed increases, the curve broadens, eventually becoming flat-topped, with more than half the base complexed over the range of pH values pK(a)+/-logKC, approximately. (K is the complex association constant and C is the formal base concentration, including all forms.) There are similarities to the extent of mono-protonation of a dibasic acid.

Hydrogen Bonding and Dielectric Spectra of Ethylene Glycol-Water Mixtures from Molecular Dynamics Simulations.

Project description:Mixtures of ethylene glycol with water are a prominent example of media with variable viscosity. Classical molecular dynamics simulations at room temperature were performed for mixtures of ethylene glycol (EG) and water with EG mole fractions of xE = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.9, 1.0. The calculated dielectric loss spectra were in qualitative agreement with experiment. We found a slightly overestimated slowdown of the dynamics with increasing EG concentration compared to experimental data. Statistics of the hydrogen bond network and hydrogen bond lifetimes were derived from suitable time correlation functions and also show a slowdown in the dynamics with increasing xE. A similar picture is predicted for the time scales of EG conformer changes and for molecular reorientation. A slight blue shift was obtained for the power spectra of the molecular center of mass motion. The results were used to give a qualitative interpretation of the origin of three different relaxation times that appear in experimental complex dielectric spectra and of their change with xE.

Hydrogen Bonding in Amorphous Indomethacin.

Project description:Amorphous Indomethacin has enhanced bioavailability over its crystalline forms, yet amorphous forms can still possess a wide variety of structures. Here, Empirical Potential Structure Refinement (EPSR) has been used to provide accurate molecular models on the structure of five different amorphous Indomethacin samples, that are consistent with their high-energy X-ray diffraction patterns. It is found that the majority of molecules in amorphous Indomethacin are non-bonded or bonded to one neighboring molecule via a single hydrogen bond, in contrast to the doubly bonded dimers found in the crystalline state. The EPSR models further indicate a substantial variation in hydrogen bonding between different amorphous forms, leading to a diversity of chain structures not found in any known crystal structures. The majority of hydrogen bonds are associated with the carboxylic acid group, although a significant number of amide hydrogen bonding interactions are also found in the models. Evidence of some dipole-dipole interactions are also observed in the more structurally ordered models. The results are consistent with a distribution of Z-isomer intramolecular type conformations in the more disordered structures, that distort when stronger intermolecular hydrogen bonding occurs. The findings are supported by 1H and 2H NMR studies of the hydrogen bond dynamics in amorphous Indomethacin.

Hydrogen bonding vs. halogen bonding: the solvent decides.

Project description:Control of intermolecular interactions is integral to harnessing self-assembly in nature. Here we demonstrate that control of the competition between hydrogen bonds and halogen bonds, the two most highly studied directional intermolecular interactions, can be exerted by choice of solvent (polarity) to direct the self-assembly of co-crystals. Competitive co-crystal formation has been investigated for three pairs of hydrogen bond and halogen bond donors, which can compete for a common acceptor group. These competitions have been examined in seven different solvents. Product formation has been determined and phase purity has been examined by analysis of powder X-ray diffraction patterns. Formation of hydrogen-bonded co-crystals is favoured from less polar solvents and halogen-bonded co-crystals from more polar solvents. The solvent polarity at which the crystal formation switches from hydrogen-bond to halogen-bond dominance depends on the relative strengths of the interactions, but is not a function of the solution-phase interactions alone. The results clearly establish that an appreciation of solvent effects is critical to obtain control of the intermolecular interactions.
