Experimental spectra, electronic properties (liquid and gaseous phases) and activity against SARS-CoV-2 main protease of Fluphenazine dihydrochloride: DFT and MD simulations.

ABSTRACT: The Gaussian 09 DFT tool is used to investigate the formational electronic behaviour, reactivity analysis and biological properties of fluphenazine dihydrochloride (FDD). The quantum computation is used to determine the spectroscopic and vibrational assignments of FDD. The NBO method explains charge transfer and molecular interactions. Energy gap values are determined using FMO analysis in different solvents and toluene is a better solvent due to higher value of solvation energy. The UV-visible spectra are investigated in various solvents using the TD-DFT method. Electrostatic potential, the wave function related properties such as LOL, NCI and RDG are determined in gaseous phase. Furthermore, the drug likeness is analyzed. At last, a docking study with MD simulation is used to investigate FDD's antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 main protease.

Spectral signatures of heterogeneous protein ensembles revealed by MD Simulations of 2DIR spectra.

Project description:A model for the calculation of amide I FTIR and 2DIR spectra taking into account fluctuations in hydrogen bonding and structure from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations is tested on three systems. It is found that although the homogeneous lineshape approximation yields satisfactory FTIR spectra, 2DIR spectra are sensitive to the inhomogeneity naturally present in any solvated protein and the common approximations of a static structure and averaged-effect solvent are invalid. By building on the local amide Hamiltonian and incorporating site energy variation with electrostatic-based models and disorder from MD trajectories, good agreement is obtained between calculated and measured 2DIR spectra. The largest contribution to the observed inhomogeneity is found to be the fluctuating site energies, which in turn are most sensitive to the water solvent. With the ability to accurately predict 2DIR spectra from atomistic simulations, new opportunities to test force fields and mechanistic predictions from MD are revealed.

L-amino-acids as immunity booster against COVID-19: DFT, molecular docking and MD simulations.

Project description:There is great interest to explore the importance of different amino-acids on immunity of human. Immunity helps to protect us from the pathogenic infections. The amino-acids are being use to give energy and is also used as an important basic molecule for the making of cells, protecting cell and others. Still, a little information is known for their importance in the inhibition of main protease of SARS-CoV-2. As known, tens of billions of humans are infected due to the SARS-CoV-2 and about a million of deaths are reported due to it or COVID. As of now, no promising drug is available in the market to cure the patients from this infection. Even, the medicines beings used for the partial cure may have some side effects. Therefore, the focus is to explore the natural amino-acids against the Mpro of SARS-CoV-2 as using of amino-acids is not toxic to humans. In the present work, authors have studied the amino-acids using DFT calculations and then they were explored for their promising role in the inhibition of main protease of SARS-CoV-2 using molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Out of the 20 amino-acids, arginine found to best against the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 using the molecular docking and the binding energy was -0.94 kcal/ mol. Further, molecular dynamics simulations for the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 with and without arginine was performed using the Amber and different thermodynamic parameters like ΔH and TΔS to get ΔG, comes out to be 2.74 kcal/mol. It is expected that arginine can boost the immunity.

Prediction of Main Regime Transition with Variations of Gas and Liquid Phases in a Bubble Column.

Project description:Industrial bubble columns mainly operate in a heterogeneous flow regime and identifying transition from homogeneous to heterogeneous flow is important. This work addresses the determination of flow regimes with gas-liquid systems in a bubble column. Various parameters of gas holdup, volumetric mass transfer coefficient, drift flux, and pressure standard deviations were investigated to precisely determine the superficial gas velocity at the transition regime. For a column aspect ratio (H/D: static liquid height to column diameter ratio) of 2.5 to 5, the transitional superficial gas velocity generally became higher with lower liquid height. However, the reverse trend was observed with a low density gas system due to the difference in force balance acting around the bubble. The weak body force and drag force in a lower axial position interrupted the mass transfer process. The experimental results showed similar ranges of the transitional superficial gas velocity regardless of the choice of parameter for detecting it. Because there is no precise correlation about transition regime properties, we proposed new correlations to predict both transition regime superficial gas velocity and gas holdup by taking the intersection of the two regimes. The correlations precisely captured the transition regime properties within 15% deviations even in gas-liquid systems that are not tested in this work.

Structural characterization of an ionic liquid in bulk and in nano-confined environment using data from MD simulations.

Project description:This article contains data on structural characterization of the [C2Mim][NTf2] in bulk and in nano-confined environment obtained using MD simulations. These data supplement those presented in the paper "Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations on Structural Organization and Diffusive Dynamics of an Ionic Liquid at Solid and Vacuum Interfaces" [1], where force fields with three different charge methods and three charge scaling factors were used for the analysis of the IL in the bulk, at the interface with the vacuum and the IL film in the contact with a hydroxylated alumina surface. Here, we present details on the construction of the model systems in an extended detailed methods section. Furthermore, for best parametrization, structural and dynamic properties of IL in different environment are studied with certain features presented herein.

Dyes in Liquid Crystals: Experimental and Computational Studies of a Guest-Host System Based on a Combined DFT and MD Approach.

Project description:Practical applications of guest-host liquid crystal systems are critically dependent on the alignment of the guest species within the liquid crystal host. UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy shows that the 1,5-dihydroxy-2,6-bis-(4-propylphenyl)-9,10-anthraquinone dye aligns within the E7 nematic host, giving an experimental dichroic ratio of 9.40 and dye order parameter of 0.74. This alignment was modelled by using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) computational approaches that do not require the input of experimental data. Time-dependent DFT calculations show that the electronic transition dipole moment is highly aligned with the long molecular axis of the dye. Fully atomistic MD simulations show that the long axis of the dye is less highly aligned within the E7 host, indicating that this contribution limits the overall dye alignment and, thereby, the potential practical applications of this particular system. Importantly, this study demonstrates an experimental and combined DFT and MD computational approach that may be applied generally to guest-host systems, providing a potential route to their rational design.

Small molecule interactions with the SARS-CoV-2 main protease: In silico all-atom microsecond MD simulations, PELE Monte Carlo simulations, and determination of in vitro activity inhibition.

Project description:The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. With some notable exceptions, safe and effective vaccines, which are now being widely distributed globally, have largely begun to stabilise the situation. However, emerging variants of concern and vaccine hesitancy are apparent obstacles to eradication. Therefore, the need for the development of potent antivirals is still of importance. In this context, the SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) is a critical target and numerous clinical trials, predominantly in the private domain, are currently in progress. Here, our aim was to extend our previous studies, with hypericin and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, as potential inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Firstly, we performed all-atom microsecond molecular dynamics simulations, which highlight the stability of the ligands in the Mpro active site over the duration of the trajectories. We also invoked PELE Monte Carlo simulations which indicate that both hypericin and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside preferentially interact with the Mpro active site and known allosteric sites. For further validation, we performed an in vitro enzymatic activity assay that demonstrated that hypericin and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside inhibit Mpro activity in a dose-dependent manner at biologically relevant (μM) concentrations. However, both ligands are much less potent than the well-known covalent antiviral GC376, which was used as a positive control in our experiments. Nevertheless, the biologically relevant activity of hypericin and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside is encouraging. In particular, a synthetic version of hypericin has FDA orphan drug designation, which could simplify potential clinical evaluation in the context of COVID-19.

Synthesis and DFT investigation of new bismuth-containing MAX phases.

Project description:The Mn + 1AXn phases (M = early transition metal; A = group A element and X = C and N) are materials exhibiting many important metallic and ceramic properties. In the present study powder processing experiments and density functional theory calculations are employed in parallel to examine formation of Zr2(Al1-xBix)C (0 ≤ x ≤ 1). Here we show that Zr2(Al1-xBix)C, and particularly with x ≈ 0.58, can be formed from powders even though the end members Zr2BiC and Zr2AlC seemingly cannot. This represents a significant extension of the MAX phase family, as this is the first report of a bismuth-based MAX phase.

Effects of Li Confined Motion on NMR Quadrupolar Interactions: A Combined 7 Li NMR and DFT-MD Study of LiR2 (PO4 )3 (R=Ti or Zr) Phases.

Project description:Ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and NMR GIPAW (gauge including projector augmented wave) calculations have been used to analyze the coordination and mobility of Li ions in LiTi2 (PO4 )3 (rhombohedral), LiZr2 (PO4 )3 (triclinic), and LiZr2 (PO4 )3 (rhombohedral) phases. Significant discrepancies are observed between static calculations of 7 Li quadrupolar parameters and experimental values. The dynamical origin of this disagreement is demonstrated by incorporating in the calculations thermal vibrations and local motion of atoms with MD simulations. For LiTi2 (PO4 )3 , the quadrupolar constant associated with Li ions grows with temperature because the local symmetry of the system decreases, whereas for the Zr phases, the quadrupolar constant decreases because thermal vibrations reduce the anisotropy of the interaction. Finally, for both Zr phases, MD yields Li distributions that compare well with disorder reported from diffraction studies.

Coexisting Liquid Phases Underlie Nucleolar Subcompartments.

Project description:The nucleolus and other ribonucleoprotein (RNP) bodies are membrane-less organelles that appear to assemble through phase separation of their molecular components. However, many such RNP bodies contain internal subcompartments, and the mechanism of their formation remains unclear. Here, we combine in vivo and in vitro studies, together with computational modeling, to show that subcompartments within the nucleolus represent distinct, coexisting liquid phases. Consistent with their in vivo immiscibility, purified nucleolar proteins phase separate into droplets containing distinct non-coalescing phases that are remarkably similar to nucleoli in vivo. This layered droplet organization is caused by differences in the biophysical properties of the phases-particularly droplet surface tension-which arises from sequence-encoded features of their macromolecular components. These results suggest that phase separation can give rise to multilayered liquids that may facilitate sequential RNA processing reactions in a variety of RNP bodies. PAPERCLIP.

Modelling the DFT structural and reactivity study of feverfew and evaluation of its potential antiviral activity against COVID-19 using molecular docking and MD simulations.

Project description:AbstractThe unavailability of a proper drug against SARS-CoV-2 infections and the emergence of various variants created a global crisis. In the present work, we have studied the antiviral behavior of feverfew plant in treating COVID-19. We have reported a systematic in silico study with the antiviral effects of various phytoconstituents Borneol (C10H18O), Camphene (C10H16), Camphor (C10H16O), Alpha-thujene (C10H16), Eugenol (C10H14O), Carvacrol (C10H14O) and Parthenolide (C15H20O3) of feverfew on the viral protein of SARS-CoV-2. Parthenolide shows the best binding affinity with both main protease (Mpro) and papain-like protease (PLpro). The molecular electrostatic potential and Mulliken atomic charges of the Parthenolide molecule shows the high chemical reactivity of the molecule. The docking of Parthenolide with PLpro give score of -8.0 kcal/mol that validates the good binding of Parthenolide molecule with PLpro. This complex was further considered for molecular dynamics simulations. The binding energy of the complex seems to range in between -3.85 to -11.07 kcal/mol that is high enough to validate the stability of the complex. Free energy decomposition analysis have been also performed to understand the contribution of residues that reside into the binding site. Good binding affinity and reactivity response suggested that Parthenolide can be used as a promising drug against the COVID-19.Graphical abstractSupplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11696-022-02067-6.
